Antique Large Carved Oak Figure of Saint Anthony of Padua, 18th-19th Century
About the Item
Fine hand carved oak figure of Saint Anthony of Padua
Late 18th- Early 19th Century
Saint Anthony is depicted with his head raised, mouth ajar, as if in the process of speaking. He stands upright wearing his traditional Franciscan robes and holding open a book. Beautifully carved with high level of detail, unusual for oak pieces. Oak is a dense hardwood which is difficult to carve and it's rare to see this level of detail in an early oak sculpture.
Saint Anthony is the Patron Saint of lost things. While living at the monastery, he had a treasured book which contained psalms and personal observations. His book was stolen by a man who decided to leave the monastery and Anthony ferverently prayed for its return as the cost of a new book would have been beyond his means. The thief repented and returned the book which is believed to be preserved at the Franciscan Library in Bologna. He is one of the most popular Catholic saints, also being the patron saint of opressed people, the elderly, pregnant women, the poor, animals, shipwrecks and many others.
The sculpture is in very good condition with age appropriate surface wear and minor splitting. There is a circular area on the top of the head, possibly for the placement of a halo.
