Description
A charming and authentic 18th-century devotional sculpture depicting Saint Anthony of Padua holding the Christ Child, carved in soft pinewood and polychromed in a traditional Tyrolean palette.
Saint Anthony is shown robed in the Franciscan habit, his gaze directed toward the Child, who clings affectionately to his shoulder. The figures are rendered in a gentle, almost naïve manner typical of folk workshops active in the Alpine region during the late Baroque period. The faces are simply modeled yet expressive, echoing the quiet intimacy and spiritual warmth associated with Tyrolean religious sculpture of this era.
The statue stands on an octagonal base painted in faux-marble, a characteristic feature of vernacular Central European devotional objects. The base and sculpture show signs of age-related wear, including surface abrasions, flaking paint, and a vertical age crack through the base and lower back. The Christ Child's hand and some edges of the drapery are partially missing, consistent with age and devotional use. These elements, however, contribute to the piece’s authenticity and untouched appeal.
Art Historical Notes
This piece likely originated from a regional Alpine workshop in Tyrol, active in producing small-scale devotional figures for home altars and village churches. The iconography of Saint Anthony with the Christ Child gained immense popularity in the post-Tridentine era, particularly among Franciscan communities. The restrained carving and stylized features reflect a late Baroque aesthetic transitioning toward early Biedermeier folk piety.
