The timeken museum of art

Anthony will never truly be free of these demons and creatures. In the background of the left portion of the painting Savoldo uses atmospheric perspective to create depth to the painting. In the distance, behind St. Anthony, there is a monastery. This monastery is said to be a reminder that St. Anthony is the father monasticism. Savoldo used many colors given the fact that his painting consisted of two very different scenes with a very interesting middle transition. His use of light is very effective and he shows some true skill when creating his painting.

The cave tunnel with the ship, for example, was very difficult to create an illumination of light yet Savoldo did it outstandingly. His use of light from the left portion of the painting to the right proves hisprofessionalismand his ability to create effective transitions. The piece is framed at eye level and the best place to stand is directly in front of it in order to see the entire piece for what it is worth. I chose this piece by Savoldo because when I saw it, it immediately grabbed my attention. Seeing this piece in person made me feel as if I could stay in the museum all day and stare at it, think about it, and enjoy it.
