"Saint Anthony Abbot as Patron of a Kneeling Donor" is a Renaissance painting created around 1570 by the Venetian master Paolo Veronese (1528–1588), born Paolo Caliari. This work exemplifies Veronese's skill in combining religious iconography with the representation of patrons, a common practice during the Renaissance that allowed patrons to demonstrate their piety and status.

The painting depicts Saint Anthony Abbot, also known as Saint Anthony the Great, a Christian monk from Egypt who lived between the 3rd and 4th centuries and is revered as the father of monasticism. The saint is typically identified by his monastic garb, a tau-shaped staff, and often accompanied by a pig, symbolizing his dominion over animals and his role as a protector against skin diseases, particularly ergotism, known as "Saint Anthony's Fire."

In this artwork, Saint Anthony is portrayed as an intercessor, standing beside a kneeling donor who is presented in a posture of devotion. The inclusion of the donor within the painting serves to immortalize the patron's devotion and connection to the divine. Veronese's use of color, attention to detail, and the harmonious composition of figures reflect the grandeur and elegance characteristic of his style.

While the identity of the kneeling donor in the painting is not universally agreed upon, such depictions were a common way for wealthy patrons to commission artworks that would serve both as a testament to their faith and as a means to ensure their memory would endure within a sacred context.

"Saint Anthony Abbot as Patron of a Kneeling Donor" is a significant example of Paolo Veronese's religious works, showcasing the artist's ability to merge the sacred narrative with the secular world of his patrons. The painting not only demonstrates Veronese's mastery of portraiture and religious symbolism but also provides insight into the cultural and social dynamics of patronage during the Italian Renaissance.
