Chapel of St. Anthony of Padua, Danis


Beschreibung
The chapel of St. Anthony of Padua stands to the north of the Holy Trinity parish church. It was built in 1724 by Capuchin friars who had pastoral care in Danis-Tavanasa until 1940.
In the eastern part of the building there is a chapel of rest and in the west an equipment room. In 1931, the paintings inside the chapel were restored. The altar was refreshed. The last complete restoration of the chapel took place in 1986.
The side walls have a red-yellow marbled painting up to chest height. All the wall sections above are painted with scenes from the life of St. Anthony of Padua and depictions from the Old Testament. On the west wall on the left, under the blind arch, you can see the scene of the feeding of the donkeys in the marketplace and above it, in the shield, a holy king dressed in an ermine cloak. To the right of the central pilaster, the Holy Communion is depicted under the blind arch and above it a gathering of the people around a warrior standing on a pedestal. The following inscription is attached to the pedestal: < ECCE EMIM DEUS NOSTER, COLIMU TERIPERE NOS DE CAMINO IGNIS DAVIT!
At the bottom right of the east wall you can see a large painting of St. Anthony preaching a sermon on fish and a scene with Moses in the shield above the blind arch. To the left of the central pilaster you can see the chapel patron preaching from the pulpit and above the shield a praying figure with a view of the wide plain with the inscription: .
The chapel altar rises on the flat north wall. Its antependium is covered with carved foliage. In the middle is a round-arched niche with a statuette of St. Anthony of Padua carrying the infant Jesus and a palm branch.
In the aedicule of twisted columns and a segmental pediment, a niche opens up with the statue of St. Anthony, surrounded by nine round medallions with scenes from the life of the saint.
