About the piece

Attributed to the Spanish school around 1700, this oil painting depicts the miraculous appearance of Saint Anthony of Padua to a fallen knight. The composition utilizes a striking chiaroscuro effect, with the saint radiating divine golden light against a dark, stormy sky, while the fallen horse and knight anchor the dramatic foreground.
