The Temptation of St Anthony (Schongauer)
''The Temptation of St. Anthony'' is 1470’s copperplate engraving by Martin Schongauer. In which grotesque demons swarm around St. Anthony, the curves of their positioning bursting with movement and energy as St. Anthony calmly resists their temptations. St. Anthony is shown with his signature attributes, dressed in a monk's habit and cowl, carrying the staff of the pig and his bound girdle book hanging from his belt. The literary source from which this image derives is debated.The image could depict chapter 65 from of Athanasius’s ''Life of St. Anthony'', where the hermit has a vision of himself floating through the air and undefined beings prevent him from ascending back to reality or it could show the ninth chapter of Athanasius’s ''Life of St. Anthony'', where St. Anthony is attacked by the devil in the form of animals and beasts in the Egyptian desert and is levitated in the air by his practice of rigorous asceticism.〔Massing 1984〕
==Technique==
In ''The Temptation of St. Anthony'', Schongauer's systematically break up the image into dots, lines and areas of hatching, varying spaces between them in order to enhance the interaction of white and black.〔Koreny 1993, p. 385〕 The engraving itself exists in two states with only minor details added on to the second.〔(Martin Schongauer, ''The Temptation of St Anthony'', a copperplate engraving ) at the British Museum〕 Parallel and fine cross hatching can be seen in the hermit’s drapery and in the texture of the devils. Contour hatching can also be seen in the drapery of the monk as well as on the battered crags in the right hand corner . Tick hatching is seen in sky which indicates atmosphere. The vast amount of negative space in the background accentuates St. Anthony’s vulnerability while curving and horizontal lines of the devils add energy and movement. These grotesque devils are illustrated with a mixture of body parts from different animals. Schongauer’s mastery of texture is shown by giving the viewer a sense of how each beast would feel ranging from the roughness of the scales to the soft hairiness of the fur. The heavily worked foreground is balanced by progressively more isolated lines in the background, showing his control of light.
