Description
18th-century Colonial School – Saint Anthony of Padua, polychrome carved wood Dimensions: 44 × 18 × 13 cm Polychrome carved wood. The figure of Saint Anthony of Padua, holding a book in one hand and a rosary in the other, embodies the simplicity and fervour of the saint’s traditional iconography. The sculpture, dating from the 18th century, displays a restrained sense of devotion, with the details of the polychrome paintwork still retaining some of their original splendour, highlighting the contrast between the austerity of his habit and the gilded details on the book. This type of work reflects the influence of the Baroque on colonial artistic expressions.
