Saint Anthony of Padua
(Portuguese: Santo António), born Fernando Martins de Bulhões (1195 – 13 June
1231), also known as Anthony of
Lisbon, was a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan Order. He
was born and raised by a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal, and died in Padua,
Italy. Noted by his contemporaries for his forceful preaching, expert knowledge
of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick, he was
the second-most-quickly canonized saint after Peter of Verona. He was
proclaimed a Doctor of the Church on 16 January 1946. He is also the patron
saint of lost things. More on

Sebastiano Ricci (1 August 1659
– 15 May 1734) was an Italian
painter of the late Baroque school of Venice. About the same age as Piazzetta,
and an elder contemporary of Tiepolo, he represents a late version of the
vigorous and luminous Cortonesque style of grand manner fresco painting. More on
