St Anthony of Padua with Two Saints (c. 1530) by Moretto da Brescia

St Anthony of Padua with Two Saints is a c.1530 oil on canvas painting by Moretto da Brescia, now in the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo in Brescia. The other two saints shown are Antony the Great and Nicholas of Tolentino.

It originated on a side altar in the city's church of Santa Maria delle Grazie and dates to Moretto's early mature period, showing marked similarities with his St Margaret of Antioch with Two Saints . [1] Early in the 19th century, after the suppression of the adjoining monastery, ownership of the church temporarily passed to the city council, which at the end of that century transferred the painting to its present location and replaced by a 19th-century copy by Bortolo Schermini. [1] This move occurred between 1882 (when it was recorded in its original location in a guidebook by Federico Odorici) and 1898 (when it is mentioned in the Pinacoteca in a monograph by Pietro Da Ponte [1] ).
