Sant Antonio 2018

"Sant Antonio" is a 2018 painting by Italian artist Roberto Ferri (b. 1978) that depicts Saint Anthony of Padua in a moment of contemplation. The painting is rendered in a highly realistic style, with attention to detail in the figure's anatomy, clothing, and the texture of the rope at his feet. The dramatic use of chiaroscuro, a technique popularized by Renaissance masters, creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. Ferri's work often draws inspiration from Baroque masters, and this painting serves as a testament to his technical skill and artistic vision.
