About the piece
Painted around 1650 by the Cordoban master Antonio del Castillo y Saavedra, this work captures the visionary moment when the Christ Child appeared to Saint Anthony of Padua. The composition is defined by its bold Baroque lighting and a sophisticated palette of deep greens and earthy reds, highlighting the contrast between the saint's earthly study—complete with memento mori—and the divine apparition in the clouds.
