Description: | The coarse grey-brown robe and knotted cord iindicate that this is a Franciscan saint, now identified as St Anthony of Padua despite the absence of his usual attribute, a white lily. The friar saint is being embraced by a golden-haired angel or putto whose arrow pierces the saint's breast; this is probably symbolic of divine love. | Subjects: | religion (saint angel) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian (Northern Italian) School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8443... | Go to resource |
