Saint Antony Abbot standing within a colonnade 1512

Nicoletto da Modena’s 1512 engraving, *Saint Antony Abbot standing within a colonnade*, depicts the saint in a monumental pose, standing in a complex architectural space that is open to the viewer. He wears a long robe and holds a staff and book, while his faithful dog sits in the foreground. The use of linear perspective creates a sense of depth and grandeur, and the detailed architectural elements highlight the classical influences in Modena’s art. The image has long been admired for its technical virtuosity and its depiction of a revered Christian figure.
