EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the depiction of the devil from the Temptation of St Anthony, a woodcut created by German School in the 17th century. The image is part of a private collection and was featured in Illustrierte Sittengeschichte von Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart, an illustrated history book by Eduard Fuchs. The devil's presence in this artwork is both intriguing and menacing. With intricate details, the artist captures the essence of evil through his portrayal of demons surrounding St Anthony. The illustration transports us to a time when temptation was believed to be ever-present, testing one's faith and resolve. In this particular scene, we witness St Anthony being confronted by Satan himself. The devil appears formidable with his twisted horns, sharp claws, and piercing gaze. As we delve into this historic piece, we are reminded of the power that art holds in capturing emotions and conveying narratives across centuries. The use of black and white enhances the dramatic effect while adding a timeless quality to this early twentieth-century print. It allows us to focus on every line and contour that brings these characters to life. Moreover, it highlights how artists throughout history have been fascinated with exploring themes such as good versus evil. As we observe this mesmerizing woodcut print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, our senses are awakened not only visually but also through our imagination as we imagine what it must have smelled like during Renaissance times - an era filled with rich aromas
