The depiction of Saint Anthony of Padua with the Child, one of the most iconic images of the saint, originates from traditions and accounts associated with his life and spirituality. This iconography became established in Europe during the Middle Ages—through paintings, sculptures, and prints—before being brought to the Americas by Franciscans during the
evangelization process.
