Saint Anthony of Padua
K1274

Lewisburg, Pa., Bucknell University, Study Collection (BL-K3), since 1961.(1) Wood. 22 1/2 x 11 3/4 in. (57.1 x 29.8 cm.). Poor condition; abraded throughout. The attribution remains uncertain because of the poor preservation of the painting.(2) The closest parallel for K1274 is the left-foreground saint (whether Anthony or Francis) in Basaiti's Christ in the Garden, in the Accademia, Venice, which is signed and dated 1516, possibly the approximate date of K1274. Provenance: Contini Bonacossi, Florence. Kress acquisition, 1941.
