"The Falls of St. Anthony" is a painting by George Catlin, an American painter, author, and traveler who specialized in portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. Created in 1847-1848, this artwork depicts the famous waterfall located on the Mississippi River in the present-day Twin Cities area of Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota. The falls were named after St. Anthony of Padua by the explorer Father Louis Hennepin in 1680.

Catlin's painting captures the natural beauty and grandeur of the falls, which were a significant cultural and sacred site for various Native American tribes, including the Dakota Sioux. The work is part of Catlin's broader effort to document the American frontier and its indigenous peoples, a project he undertook out of a belief that both were being irreversibly altered by westward expansion and the advance of European-American settlement.

The painting is characterized by Catlin's attention to detail and his use of vibrant colors, which were hallmarks of his style. He often worked en plein air to capture the essence of the landscapes he was depicting. "The Falls of St. Anthony" is not only a work of art but also an important historical record of a landscape that has since been significantly altered by human activity, including industrialization and urban development.

As part of Catlin's larger body of work, "The Falls of St. Anthony" contributes to the understanding of 19th-century American art and the cultural interactions between Native Americans and European settlers. The painting is a testament to Catlin's dedication to preserving a visual record of a rapidly changing continent and is considered an important piece within the genre of American landscape painting.

George Catlin's works are held in various collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. "The Falls of St. Anthony" continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and as a historical document of the American landscape and its native inhabitants during a pivotal period in United States history.
