Saint Anthony of Padua

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a saint standing on a rocky shore. Behind him, a crowd of people reaches upward, some on their knees. The sea churns with small waves, and the sky is full of swirling clouds. The saint’s robe is simple, but his face looks calm. The text at the bottom names him *Saint Anthony of Padua*, a popular figure in Christian art. The artist used sharp lines to create drama and movement, which was common in this style. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Carpioni carved images into metal plates.
