CAMPAGNA, Girolamo

St Anthony of Padua

1608-09
Bronze
Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, Venice

At around 1606 Campagna returned to the use of bronze, producing the statue of St Anthony Abbot for San Giacomo di Rialto in 1605, bronze statuettes of St Agnes and St Anthony of Padua for Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in 1608-09, and the high-relief figures of the Angel and Virgin Annunciate for the Loggia del Consiglio (now Castelvecchio), Verona, in 1609-10.

The statuette of St Anthony of Padua is adorning a holy water stoup at the foot of the altar of St Anthony in the left aisle of the church.
