Sant'Antonio da Padova Abbraccia Gesù Bambino - Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“St. Anthony of Padua Embracing the Child Jesus - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …
Saint Anthony of Padua was a devoted follower of Saint Francis of Assisi and celebrated his reputation as a miracle worker. His exceptional character and unwavering dedication to Christ earned him the title of Doctor of the Church, conferred by Pope Pius XII on January 16, 1946. In depictions of Saint Anthony, he is often shown holding a book, a heart, a flame, a lily, or the child Jesus, symbols reflecting his profound spiritual life and the miracles attributed to his intercession. Saint Anthony's published sermons for Sundays and feast days stand as a testament to his authenticity and unwavering commitment to faith. Despite initial hesitancy, he accepted the call to speak at an ordination when no one else was prepared. His years of prayer, Scripture reading, and dedicated service had equipped him to allow the Spirit to channel his talents, delivering an astounding sermon that left his audience in awe of the Spirit's power. His exceptional prayer life, theological scholarship, and oratory skills led to him being the first friar to teach theology to other friars. Upon falling seriously ill, Saint Anthony requested to be taken back to Padua, where he eventually passed away after receiving the last sacraments. Known for his ability to find lost objects and causes. In "Saint Anthony of Padua Embracing the Child Jesus," I aimed to capture the profound spirituality and tender devotion of this beloved saint. The image of Saint Anthony cradling the infant Jesus is a poignant representation of his deep love and unwavering faith. The painting is a tribute to his legacy and the timeless beauty of Saint Anthony's Basilica in Padua, a place that stands as a beacon of his enduring influence. Through the image of Saint Anthony embracing the child Jesus, we are reminded of the purity of his love and the miracles that spring from a heart wholly surrendered to divine providence.
