Painting of St. Anthony of Padua with the Christ Child and the Poor

This reverent painting depicts St. Anthony of Padua holding the Christ Child, surrounded by beggars—a powerful visual expression of the saint’s compassion, humility, and devotion to the poor. Rich in Catholic symbolism, the scene reflects his legacy as a preacher of the Gospel and patron saint of the vulnerable.

St. Anthony is often portrayed distributing bread or alms, evoking the Corporal Works of Mercy and his miraculous intercessions on behalf of the needy.
