Title: | A Sermon on Charity, detail |
---|
Notes: | Netherlandish (Antwerp Mannerist) Painter (active, 1520-25) The panel may represent Saint Anthony listening to a reading from the Gospels and, in the background, distributing his wealth to the poor, or it may be intended as a more general sermon on the virtues of charity. In either case, the theme reflects the concerns of the Biblical Humanists, a reform group that advocated charity as a moral obligation.
