H. Antonius geneest een bezeten man 1598

Antonio Tempesta's 1598 etching, "H. Antonius geneest een bezeten man", depicts the miracle of Saint Anthony healing a possessed man. This scene, likely inspired by the life of Saint Anthony, is a powerful example of the artistic style of the late 16th century, which emphasized detailed figures and dynamic compositions. The etching, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Tempesta's mastery of line work and dramatic storytelling. The artist's keen observation of human emotion and the interplay of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the scene.
