H. Antonius geneest de waanzin van een jonge edelman 1598

This etching by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta depicts the biblical scene of the healing of a young nobleman by Saint Anthony. The work, created in 1598, shows the saint reaching out to touch the possessed man while other figures look on. The scene takes place in a landscape setting, with the figures positioned beneath a large tree. This depiction, now located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, demonstrates the artist’s skill in capturing the drama and intensity of the biblical story, using detailed lines and shading.
