This engraving by Flemish artist Thomas de Leu, created after 1598, depicts Saint Antiochus as a hermit. The image shows a saint riding a horse through a forest while another figure walks toward him, a building in the background. De Leu was known for his detailed and expressive engravings. This print, with its use of light and shadow, creates a dramatic scene, showcasing the artist's mastery of the technique. The inscription, "Vecinus equo properat deferre filia senecta / Abrumpenda brevi precius ANTIOCHVS," translates to "The neighbor hastens on horseback to bring his daughter, antiochus, to her death." The work captures the essence of the story of Saint Antiochus, highlighting his commitment to his religious vow.
