EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Anthony of Padua with the Infant Jesus" is a beautiful and evocative pen and ink drawing on ivory laid paper laid down on cream wove card, created by the renowned Spanish Baroque artist Antonio del Castillo y Saavedra in the 17th century. The image depicts Saint Anthony of Padua, the Franciscan friar and Doctor of the Church, holding the Infant Jesus in his arms. Saint Anthony is dressed in the traditional Franciscan habit, with a brown robe and a cowl, and he gazes at the baby Jesus with deep devotion and love. The Infant Jesus, dressed in swaddling clothes, looks up at Saint Anthony with a serene expression. The drawing is filled with intricate details, from the folds of Saint Anthony's habit to the delicate veins on the hands of both figures. The background is a simple yet effective composition of clouds, adding a sense of peace and tranquility to the scene. The use of black and white, or pen and ink, enhances the contrast between the dark outlines and the lighter areas, creating a striking visual effect. This drawing is a testament to the artistic skill and piety of Antonio del Castillo y Saavedra, who expertly captured the essence of the saintly figure and the innocence of the Infant Jesus. It is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, and a reminder of the rich cultural and religious heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us. The drawing is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is on display for visitors to appreciate and contemplate. It is a timeless work of art that transcends the boundaries of time and place, and continues to be a source of wonder and inspiration for generations to come.
