Heilige Antonius van Padua verricht wonder met ezel die voor hostie knielt 1623 - 1660

This etching by Pieter de Bailliu, created between 1623 and 1660, depicts the miracle of Saint Anthony of Padua. The artwork shows Saint Anthony holding a host, a round wafer representing the body of Christ, while a donkey kneels before it in adoration. This scene highlights the saint's ability to perform miracles, specifically demonstrating his connection to the Eucharist. The composition is dramatic with a strong emphasis on light and shadow, typical of Baroque style. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artistic skill of Pieter de Bailliu and the enduring popularity of Saint Anthony's story.
