"The Temptation of Saint Anthony" is an engraving by the Dutch artist Lucas van Leyden, created in 1509. This work is part of a rich tradition of depicting the trials of Saint Anthony the Great, a Christian monk from Egypt, who, according to his hagiographies, faced numerous supernatural temptations in the desert. Lucas van Leyden's interpretation is noted for its intricate detail and the complex interplay of moral and spiritual themes.

The engraving portrays Saint Anthony calmly resisting the demonic temptations that surround him, which are depicted as grotesque figures and fantastical creatures. This representation not only showcases van Leyden's skill in composition and his ability to invoke emotional intensity but also reflects the religious and cultural milieu of the early 16th century. The work is significant in the study of Northern Renaissance art, offering insights into the era's religious thinking, artistic styles, and the human condition.
