Spanish Colonial art, which flourished in the Americas during the 16th to 18th centuries, is renowned for its unique blend of European artistic traditions and indigenous influences. Religious paintings from this period were often created to inspire faith and devotion among the colonial populations. Saint Anthony, a Franciscan friar known for his profound spiritual teachings and miracles, was a popular subject in these devotional works, often depicted with the Infant Jesus to symbolize his purity and divine connection.
