This woodcut print by Nicoletto da Modena depicts Saint Anthony the Great, a 4th-century Christian monk, in a detailed and expressive manner. The print, created between 1510 and 1520, features Saint Anthony standing near a ruined structure, a tau cross in his hand, with a pig at his feet. The cityscape in the background and the carefully rendered textures of the saint's clothing and the surrounding ruins contribute to the print's powerful and evocative depiction of the saint's life and spirituality. Nicoletto da Modena, who lived between 1500 and 1520, captured the essence of the saint in a small, yet impactful piece, now housed at the Rijksmuseum.
