He is generally depicted with a mitre and crosier, and sometimes with a can or ewer, referring to his baptism of St. Giustina. Tradition holds that, being of
Greek origin, he was sent from
Antioch by
Peter the Apostle. He is thus often depicted in art with this apostle. The cathedral at
Feltre is dedicated to him and Saint Peter the Apostle, and the artist
Il Pordenone (c. 1483 - 1539) created a work depicting Prosdocimus with Peter. There is a bronze statue of Prosdocimus (c. 1447) by
Donatello in the
Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua in Padua. Prosdocimus is depicted in an altarpiece by
Romanino, now in the
Musei Civici di Padova, Padua. He holds the jug a water with which he baptized Justina. A drawing by
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo of "St. Prosdocimus baptizing St. Giustina" is held by the
National Gallery of Victoria.
Pietro Damini painted an image of
Saint Prosdocimus. ==References==
