As the number of Franciscan saints increased, iconography struggled to distinguish Anthony from the others. Because of a legend that he had once preached to the fish by the mouth of the river [[Marecchia]] in [[Rimini]], this was sometimes used as his attribute. He is also often seen with a white [[lilium|lily]] stalk, representing his purity. Other conventions referred to St. Anthony's visionary fervor. Thus, one attribute in use for some time was a flaming heart. He is also sometimes depicted along with the [[mule]] in Rimini that allegedly bowed down to him holding the [[Eucharist]].

In 1511, [[Titian]] painted three large frescoes in the [[Scuola del Santo]] in Padua, depicting scenes of the miracles from the life of Saint Anthony: ''The [[Miracle of the Jealous Husband]]'', which depicts the murder of a young woman by her husband; ''A Child Testifying to Its Mother's Innocence''; and ''The Saint Healing the Young Man with a Broken Limb''.{{sfn|Morosini|1999|pp=163–164}}

Another key pattern has him meditating on an open book in which the Christ Child himself appears, as in the El Greco below. Over time the child came to be shown considerably larger than the book and some images even do without the book entirely. He typically appears carrying the infant Jesus and holding a cross.{{sfn| Chong| 2016 | p=189}}

In popular [[votive offering]]s, Anthony is often depicted as miraculously saving individuals in various accidents.<ref>[https://www.santantonio.org/en/content/museum-popular-devotion-0 Museum of Popular Devotion], Basilica of Saint Anthony, Padua</ref>

=== In music ===
The Austrian composer [[Gustav Mahler]]'s [[song cycle]] ''[[Des Knaben Wunderhorn]]'' contains the song ''Des Antonius von Padua Fischpredigt'', whose lyrics recount the story of Saint Anthony's sermon to the fish. This song later formed the basis for the scherzo movement of Mahler's [[Symphony No. 2 (Mahler)|Symphony No. 2]]. In correspondence, Mahler expressed amusement that his sinuous musical setting could imply [[St. Anthony of Padua]] was himself drunk as he preached to the fish.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kennedy-center.org/artist/composition/2252|title=Des Knaben Wunderhorn|publisher=kennedy-center.org|access-date=20 December 2018}}</ref>
