Belagio schenkt geen aandacht aan het verzoek van H. Antonius 1598

This etching by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, titled *Belagio schenkt geen aandacht aan het verzoek van H. Antonius* (Belagio pays no attention to the request of St. Anthony), depicts a scene from the life of St. Anthony of Padua. The print, created in 1598, shows St. Anthony kneeling before a dismissive Belagio, who is surrounded by guards. The scene is set in an outdoor courtyard, likely representing the moment Belagio refuses to grant St. Anthony's request. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Tempesta's skill in capturing dramatic moments of religious history, showcasing the dynamic poses of the figures and the intricate details of their clothing.
