"Saint Anthony Reading" is an exquisite engraving created by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer in 1519. This work is a testament to Dürer's mastery of the engraving technique and his deep engagement with religious themes, which were prevalent during the Northern Renaissance. The engraving depicts Saint Anthony the Great, an early Christian monk and a prominent figure in Christian monasticism, engrossed in reading a book. This portrayal is significant as it emphasizes the saint's dedication to spiritual and intellectual pursuits.

Dürer's depiction of Saint Anthony is characterized by meticulous detail and a profound sense of realism. The saint is shown seated in a contemplative pose, with his long beard and simple monastic robes, which are rendered with intricate lines that highlight the texture of the fabric. The background of the engraving features a serene landscape, which contrasts with the intense focus of the saint, thereby creating a harmonious balance between the figure and his surroundings.

The engraving is notable for its use of light and shadow, which Dürer skillfully employs to create depth and volume. This technique not only enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure but also imbues the scene with a sense of tranquility and introspection. The attention to detail in the rendering of the book, the saint's facial expression, and the surrounding elements reflects Dürer's keen observational skills and his ability to convey complex emotions through his art.

"Saint Anthony Reading" is part of a larger body of work by Dürer that explores religious themes and figures. It exemplifies the artist's ability to blend technical precision with profound spiritual insight, making it a significant piece in the study of Renaissance art. The engraving is housed in various collections around the world, where it continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and its contribution to the legacy of Albrecht Dürer.
