H. Antonius van Padua 1628 - 1689

This engraving, created by Alexander Voet I between 1628 and 1689, depicts Saint Anthony of Padua kneeling in prayer. The saint is shown with a child, possibly representing the Christ child, holding a lily, a symbol of purity. Voet's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism in the scene. This engraving, measuring 221 mm by 131 mm, is a testament to the artistry of the Baroque period and provides a glimpse into the religious devotion of the time.
