The Baby Jesus sits in her lap, leaning out to offer a long, thin cross to the saint on his right, St. John the Evangelist who can be identified by his symbol, the eagle at his feet. To the left of the throne in a Franciscan habit, St. Anthony of Padua gazes devoutly heavenwards, holding in his hand a book and a lily symbolising purity. The letters \u201cIHS\u201d inscribed on the base of the throne in a shield held by two angels, are an ancient acronym for the name of Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>The altarpiece was commissioned by Antonia Bazzolini for her family chapel in the church of San Francesco in Faenza in 1504, the presence of St. Anthony of Padua, to whom she must have been especially devoted, alluding to her name. The contract for the painting tells us that an Annunciation scene once surmounted the altarpiece, but it has unfortunately been lost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2502,"template":"","tag-opera":[],"tecnica":[58],"class_list":["post-2847","opera","type-opera","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tecnica-oil-on-wood"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera\/2847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/opera"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/opera\/2847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tag-opera","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tag-opera?post=2847"},{"taxonomy":"tecnica","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tecnica?post=2847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
