Saint Anthony of Padua with the Child, Flemish school, 17th century

Descriptio Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 146 x 123 cm; 167 x 114 cm. A devotional scene centered on Saint Anthony of Padua kneeling before the Christ Child, who rests on a book and is accompanied by a delicate lily in the foreground, a symbol of purity. The composition combines the intimacy of the sacred encounter with a serene landscape background, while the light softly models the saint’s habit and the luminous flesh of the child. The treatment of volumes, the restrained gravity of the face, and the overall nobility recall Baroque formulas of Flemish origin, close to the circle of Erasmus Quellinus. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
