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. [from Met gallery notes.]
