"Sant'Antonio Da Padova" is a portrait of the titular Saint Anthony of Padua by the Venetian artist Palma Vecchio, who was active in the early 16th century. The painting depicts the Saint wearing the habit of the Franciscan order, holding a lily and a book, both symbols of his holiness and scholarly pursuits. The work exemplifies the Venetian Renaissance style, known for its balanced composition and realistic portrayal of the subject. This painting is likely a devotional work, commissioned by a patron seeking the intercession of the venerated saint.
