DÜRER, Albrecht: St Anthony

🖼 St Anthony, 1519
Engraving
96 × 143 cm
New York, USA

Writhing demons and grotesque creatures swarm around a serene saint amid intricate German Renaissance detail and precise engraving technique. Dürer's visionary assault on Anthony exemplifies Northern Europe's fascination with spiritual struggle and fantastical imagery during the Reformation era.
