"St Anthony of Padua Reading" is a notable painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Cosme Tura, who was a prominent figure in the Ferrarese School of painting during the 15th century. This artwork exemplifies Tura's distinctive style, characterized by its intricate detail, vivid color palette, and a blend of Gothic and early Renaissance elements. Cosme Tura, also known as Cosmè Tura or Il Cosmè, was active primarily in the court of Ferrara, where he served as the court painter for the Este family.

The painting depicts St. Anthony of Padua, a revered Franciscan friar and preacher, engrossed in reading a book. St. Anthony is traditionally associated with the miraculous and the scholarly, often depicted with a book or the Christ Child. In Tura's rendition, the saint is portrayed with a serene and contemplative expression, emphasizing his devotion and intellectual pursuits. The background and surrounding elements of the painting are meticulously detailed, showcasing Tura's skill in rendering textures and his innovative use of perspective.

Tura's work is known for its emotional intensity and elaborate ornamentation, which can be seen in the intricate patterns and rich colors of St. Anthony's robes and the surrounding architectural elements. The painting reflects the influence of both Northern European art, with its attention to detail and texture, and the burgeoning Italian Renaissance, with its focus on humanism and naturalism.

"St Anthony of Padua Reading" is a testament to Cosme Tura's mastery and his contribution to the development of Renaissance art in Ferrara. It remains an important piece for understanding the regional variations of Renaissance art and the unique contributions of the Ferrarese School. The painting is housed in a prominent art collection, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
