"Saint Anthony Abbot" is a notable painting by the French Baroque artist Claude Vignon, created in the 17th century. The artwork depicts Saint Anthony, also known as Anthony the Great, who was an early Christian monk and a prominent figure in the Desert Fathers. Vignon, known for his eclectic style that combined elements of the French, Italian, and Northern European traditions, portrays the saint in a moment of contemplative solitude, a theme common in depictions of Anthony, who is often associated with the monastic life and the struggle against temptation.

The painting is characterized by Vignon's dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as his rich color palette, which contributes to the intensity and spiritual depth of the scene. Saint Anthony is typically shown in a desert landscape, referencing his withdrawal from society to live as a hermit, and Vignon's interpretation is likely to include such iconographic elements. The saint is often accompanied by a pig, a symbol of the evil he combated through his faith and ascetic practices, and it is possible that this attribute is present in Vignon's work.

Claude Vignon's "Saint Anthony Abbot" reflects the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on religious figures and narratives that encouraged piety and devotion. The painting would have served both as an object of veneration and as an inspiration for the faithful to emulate the saint's virtues. While the exact location and provenance of the painting may not be well-documented, it remains an important example of Vignon's oeuvre and of Baroque religious art.

As an artist, Claude Vignon (1593–1670) was highly regarded in his time and enjoyed the patronage of prominent figures, including Cardinal Richelieu. His works are held in various museums and collections around the world, and "Saint Anthony Abbot" would be of interest to scholars studying the Baroque period, religious iconography, or Vignon's artistic legacy.
