Quick Summary

The Madonna with SS. Anthony and George is a painting by the Italian artist Pisanello, a prominent figure of the International Gothic style. Created around 1433–1438, this work is characterized by its monumental figures of the two saints and a bust of the Virgin Mary within an aureole. While Pisanello is also renowned for his medals, this painting showcases his distinctive style, which, though rooted in the International Gothic, also displays a simpler conception in this instance. St. Anthony of Egypt, one of the saints depicted, is recognized as the founder of organized Christian monasticism.12
