"The Meeting of St. Anthony and St. Paul" is a celebrated tempera and gold on wood panel painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Stefano di Giovanni, known as Sassetta. Created in 1445, this artwork is a significant example of Sassetta's narrative style and his contribution to the Sienese School of painting. The painting depicts the legendary encounter between two of Christianity's earliest monks, St. Anthony the Great and St. Paul the Hermit, in the Egyptian desert. This subject was popular in Christian art as it symbolized the virtues of asceticism and brotherhood.

Sassetta's rendition of the meeting is noted for its delicate use of color and the serene landscape that serves as a backdrop for the holy encounter. The composition is harmonious and filled with symbolic elements that were typical of the period's religious art. The figures of the two saints are portrayed with a sense of humility and grace, reflecting the spiritual significance of their meeting. The work is part of a larger altarpiece, originally created for the Church of San Francesco in Sansepolcro, Tuscany.

The painting is an important piece in Sassetta's oeuvre, showcasing his ability to blend the International Gothic style with the emerging Renaissance sensibilities of the time. It is also an example of the devotional art that was commissioned by religious institutions during the 15th century in Italy. "The Meeting of St. Anthony and St. Paul" is not only a testament to Sassetta's artistry but also provides insight into the religious and cultural context of the period in which it was created. The work is currently held in a prominent museum collection, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical and aesthetic significance.
