EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases St Anthony the Great (Antony) of Thebes, a prominent figure in Christian history. Known as the Father of Christian monasticism and revered as a patron saint of herdsmen, St Anthony is depicted here with his emblem, a pig. The image captures a poignant moment where he is being appealed to by a victim suffering from St Anthony's Fire, also known as gangrenous ergotism. The woodcut, dating back to 1593 and originating from Amsterdam's Hans van Gersdorff Veldt Boeck van den Chirugia Scheel-Hans publication, beautifully portrays the Egyptian aesthetic prevalent during that era. With his halo symbolizing holiness and divine power of healing emanating from God, St Anthony exudes an aura of spiritual significance. The composition serves as a reminder of the devastating effects caused by ergot poisoning resulting from consuming flour contaminated with Claviceps purpurea fungus. Rye crops were particularly susceptible to this phenomenon, especially during wet seasons. This epidemic had severe consequences on agriculture and public health. Through this remarkable woodcut print, we are transported back in time to witness both the religious devotion associated with St Anthony's veneration and the medical challenges faced by communities centuries ago. It stands as an enduring testament to faith, resilience against adversity, and the continuous pursuit of knowledge in medicine throughout history.
