A scene of Anthony of Padua (1195-1231), preaching to birds on a shore. However the artist, Jacques Philippe Le Bas (1707-83), has conflated two saints: Anthony preached to fish because the residents of Rimini were unworthy to hear God's word; St Francis of Assisi preached a sermon about God's love for birds.
