"St. Anthony Reading" is a notable engraving created by the renowned German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, who is widely celebrated for his contributions to printmaking, painting, and theoretical writings on art. This particular work, executed in 1519, exemplifies Dürer's masterful technique and his deep engagement with religious themes, which were prevalent during the period.

The engraving depicts St. Anthony the Great, also known as Anthony of Egypt, who is considered the father of Christian monasticism. In the artwork, St. Anthony is portrayed in a contemplative pose, engrossed in reading a book, which symbolizes his dedication to spiritual study and ascetic life. The saint is seated in a rustic setting, surrounded by elements that reflect his hermitic lifestyle, such as a simple hut and natural surroundings. This serene and introspective depiction contrasts with other representations of St. Anthony, which often focus on his legendary temptations and struggles against demonic forces.

Dürer's attention to detail and his ability to convey texture and depth through intricate line work are evident in "St. Anthony Reading." The folds of the saint's robe, the texture of the wooden structure, and the delicate rendering of the natural environment showcase Dürer's technical prowess and his keen observation of the natural world. The engraving also reflects the influence of Italian Renaissance art on Dürer's work, particularly in its use of perspective and anatomical precision.

"St. Anthony Reading" is part of a series of engravings by Dürer that explore the lives of saints and religious figures, highlighting his interest in the human condition and spiritual devotion. This work not only serves as a testament to Dürer's skill as an engraver but also provides insight into the religious and cultural milieu of early 16th-century Europe. Today, "St. Anthony Reading" is held in high regard by art historians and collectors, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
