The Temptation of St. Anthony n.d.

This print by the Netherlandish artist Jan Wellens de Cock, depicts the story of "The Temptation of St. Anthony". The print shows the saint, Anthony, being tempted by demons in a variety of ways, including by a serpent, a devil, and other monstrous figures. The scene is set in a landscape with a ruined castle, a river, and a town in the distance. The print is a good example of the Northern Renaissance style, with its detailed and naturalistic rendering. The artist's interest in depicting the grotesque is evident in the portrayal of the demons, which are often exaggerated and horrifying.
