"Saint Antony of Padua and the Christ Child" is a notable oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa 1660s. This artwork is one of several representations by Murillo of Saint Anthony of Padua, a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan Order, who is often depicted in art with the Christ Child. Murillo's interpretation is particularly renowned for its tender and intimate portrayal of the saint in a moment of divine revelation and interaction with the infant Jesus.

In the painting, Saint Anthony is typically shown holding the Christ Child, or with the Child Jesus appearing to him in a vision, emphasizing themes of devotion, innocence, and the miraculous. The composition is imbued with a sense of warmth and softness, characteristic of Murillo's mature style, which includes a masterful use of chiaroscuro and a delicate color palette that enhances the spiritual and emotional connection between the figures.

Murillo's "Saint Antony of Padua and the Christ Child" is celebrated for its devotional impact and its artistic merit, reflecting the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on personal piety and the veneration of saints. The painting is a testament to Murillo's skill in conveying religious sentiment and his ability to render the textures and qualities of flesh and fabric, contributing to his reputation as one of the most important painters of the Spanish Golden Age.

The artwork has been held in various collections over the centuries and has been the subject of scholarly attention for its iconographic significance, as well as its stylistic and technical qualities.
