Heilige Antonius c. 1470 - 1491

This engraving, “Heilige Antonius,” was created by German artist Martin Schongauer between 1470 and 1491. The print depicts Saint Anthony, known for his association with pigs, standing with a staff and bell. Schongauer’s meticulous detail and masterful use of line are characteristic of his work. This image is a fine example of Northern Renaissance art, with its focus on realism and religious subject matter. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
