EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful 19th century colored engraving depicts Saint Anthony of Padua (1195-1231), a Portuguese Franciscan priest and Doctor of the Church, known for his profound devotion and preaching. Born in Lisbon, Portugal, Anthony joined the Augustinian Canons before joining the Franciscan Order in 1220. He is often depicted with a book and a child, symbolizing his love for teaching and his affinity towards children. Anthony is shown here seated on a simple chair, his hands resting on the arms, and his eyes gazing upwards in deep contemplation. He wears the Franciscan habit with the distinctive three-pointed cap, and holds a cross in his right hand. The colorful engraving captures the essence of Anthony's humility and piety, as well as his deep connection to the Catholic faith. Saint Anthony is considered the patron saint of lost things, and his intercession is sought by those who have misplaced or lost valuable items. He is also the patron saint of Portugal, and his shrine in Padua, Italy, is a popular pilgrimage site for Catholics and Christians alike. This engraving is a testament to the enduring legacy of Saint Anthony of Padua, whose influence on European Catholicism and evangelical movements during the 13th century continues to be felt today. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the engraving make it a stunning work of art and a valuable addition to any collection of religious art or history.
