"St. Anthony Reading" is an engraving created by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer in 1519. This work is part of Dürer's extensive and influential body of graphic prints, which includes woodcuts, engravings, and etchings. The engraving depicts St. Anthony, a Christian monk from Egypt who lived in the 3rd and 4th centuries and is often referred to as the Father of All Monks. St. Anthony is renowned for his ascetic lifestyle and his battles against demonic temptations, which have been a popular subject in Christian art.

In Dürer's depiction, St. Anthony is shown in a moment of tranquility, engrossed in reading a sacred text. The composition is notable for its meticulous detail and the use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and texture. Dürer's skill in engraving is evident in the fine lines and intricate details that give life to the saint's contemplative expression and the natural elements surrounding him.

The engraving of St. Anthony is part of a larger series of works by Dürer that explore religious themes and the inner spiritual life of individuals. It reflects the artist's interest in humanism and the intellectual currents of the time, which sought to reconcile religious faith with a renewed interest in the classical past and the natural world.

"St. Anthony Reading" is held in high esteem for its technical excellence and its contribution to the iconography of St. Anthony in art. The work is housed in several major museum collections and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance within the context of the Northern Renaissance and Dürer's oeuvre.
