Verzoeking van een heilige door de duivel c. 1579 - 1622

"Verzoeking van een heilige door de duivel" is an engraving by Geronima Cagnaccia Parasole, created sometime between 1579 and 1622. The artwork depicts a saint, standing within a building, who is being tempted by a devil. The devil, monstrous and grotesque, appears with a pointed snout and bat-like wings, as well as claws and hooves. This engraving illustrates a common theme in religious art, the struggle between good and evil, and the constant temptation of temptation. The artist uses hatching and cross-hatching to create tonal depth and contrast, adding a sense of drama to the scene.
