1509
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Temptation of St. Anthony is a 1509 by Lucas van Leyden, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows two figures in a rocky, wooded landscape. On the left, an older man with a long beard sits on a rock, holding an open book and pointing at something. Next to him, a woman with horns on her head holds a lantern. The background has distant buildings and a hill. The woman’s horns suggest she’s not human—this is a story about good versus evil. The year "1509" is written in the corner, showing when it was made. If you like this style, look up Renaissance.
Lucas van Leyden (1494 – 8 August 1533), was a Dutch painter and printmaker in engraving and woodcut. Lucas van Leyden was among the first Dutch exponents of genre painting and was a very accomplished engraver.
