# The Meeting of St. Anthony and St. Paul [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SASSETTA]() - Date: 1401-1450 - Technique: Wood ## Commentary The Meeting of St. Anthony and St. Paul about 1440 Wood National Gallery of Art, Washington A charming storyteller, Sassetta chose to ignore the recently-discovered laws of perspective and methods of rendering form realistically. In this picture, part of a series painted about 1440, he has reverted to the medieval book illustrators' technique of showing consecutive events simultaneously and representing early Christian legends in contemporary settings. \*\*\* Keywords: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Author: SASSETTA Title: The Meeting of St. Anthony and St. Paul Time-line: 1401-1450 School: Italian Form: painting Type: religious ## Related artworks - [Damnation of the Soul of the Miser of Citerna]() - [Death of the Heretic on the Bonfire]() - [Founding of Santa Maria Maggiore]() - [Madonna of Humility]() - [Madonna of Humility with Four Saints]() - [Marriage of St Francis to Lady Poverty]() - [Miracle of the Eucharist]() - [St Anthony the Hermit Tortured by the Devils]() - [St Jerome \(detail\)]() - [St Thomas Before the Cross]() - [St Thomas Inspired by the Dove of the Holy Ghost \(detail\)]() - [St Thomas Inspired by the Dove of the Holy Ghost \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
