A modern creation by sculptor Ines Machado in Barcelos, Portugal, this faithful representation of the Portuguese saint, Saint Anthony of Padua, is fashioned in the style of 21st-century Portuguese folk and religious art.
Barcelos is an emblematic city and historic center of craftsmanship in northern Portugal, known for its ever-active and incredibly ingenious ceramic artists. Each of them has mastered the art of terracotta, ceramics, and glazing.
Inês Machado stands out from other artists with a softer, more figuratively maternal approach to her sculptures, particularly religious subjects. Here, Saint Anthony is depicted with the baby Jesus on a Bible, while his other hand holds a bouquet of red roses.
The halo, symbolizing the Saint, is presented as a crown on Saint Anthony’s head, and the entire subject bears a soft, expressive imprint. Here, it is Saint Anthony, protector of children, who will be appreciated and understood by young and old Catholics alike when viewing this sculpture.
Fans of modern sculptures by great ceramic artists from northern Portugal, or lovers of modern devotional objects, don’t wait any longer! Adopt this Saint Anthony sculpture and bring protection to your home.
