"Forest Glade with a Walled Fountain by which Two Men are Sitting (or St. Anthony and St. Paul, Identified by the Flying Raven)" is a copper engraving created by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer in 1515. This artwork is one of Dürer's masterful engravings that showcases his exceptional skill in capturing intricate details and his deep understanding of religious iconography. The engraving depicts the meeting of two Christian saints, Anthony the Great and Paul of Thebes, in a serene forest setting, which is a subject inspired by the legends of the Desert Fathers, early Christian monks who lived in the Egyptian desert.

The scene is set in a tranquil forest clearing, where a walled fountain, symbolizing purity and divine grace, occupies the central part of the composition. The two saints are seated beside the fountain, engaged in a spiritual conversation. St. Anthony, known for his ascetic life and resistance to temptation, is often considered the father of monasticism. St. Paul, also an ascetic, is traditionally regarded as the first Christian hermit. The presence of the raven, which according to the legend brought bread to St. Paul, helps in identifying the figures and adds a layer of narrative to the engraving.

Dürer's work is notable for its fine detail, the use of light and shadow, and the realistic rendering of nature, which was groundbreaking for its time. The engraving is a testament to Dürer's technical prowess and his ability to convey complex theological themes through art. It reflects the Northern Renaissance's emphasis on observation of the natural world and the infusion of religious subjects with a new sense of realism.

This piece is part of Dürer's larger body of work that includes religious themes, reflecting the artist's personal interest in theology and his engagement with the intellectual currents of the Reformation. "Forest Glade with a Walled Fountain by which Two Men are Sitting" is not only a significant work in Dürer's oeuvre but also an important example of Northern Renaissance art that continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
