EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in the life of Saint Anthony the Great, also known as Saint Anthony the Hermit or Saint Anthony the Abbe. Created by an unknown artist in the 15th century, this print depicts the saint being tempted by a demon. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship bring to life this spiritual battle between good and evil. Saint Anthony, renowned for his ascetic lifestyle and devotion to God, is shown here deep in contemplation as he resists the temptations presented by the devil. The demon's menacing presence looms over him, its twisted form contrasting with Saint Anthony's serene expression. This powerful image serves as a reminder of humanity's constant struggle against temptation and our ability to overcome it through faith. The engraving is part of "Leben der Heiligen - sommerteil" (The book of the saint) written by Jacobus (James) of Voragine in 1228-1298. It was published in Lubeck in 1488, adding historical significance to this artwork. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection today, we are transported back centuries and reminded of the enduring power of religious devotion. Giancarlo Costa has expertly captured this piece for Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its profound spiritual message.
