St Antony

c. 1471
Fresco
Parish Church of Sant'Andrea, Cercina

In contrast to his counterpart, St Jerome, St Antony is dressed in a dark monk's habit. He is looking downwards at the figure on which St Barbara is standing. The attributes he is carrying are a book and the T-shaped staff on which he is leaning.
