 Artwork Page: The Temptation of Saint Anthony (second version)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Neither fantasy nor horrifying reality, Callot's image of the temptation of St. Anthony is typically theatrical: it casts the battle between good and evil not as a mystical vision but as a high-pitched dramatic performance.
It is an epic, fictive conflict acted out on the stage, and the beleaguered Anthony is a bit player relegated to a small corner of the scene.
Here, at the end of his life, Callot indulged his passion for grotesque minutiae in the creatures that populate the print: the central monster belching fire and demons, a cavalcade led by the Whore of Babylon, bellows-wielding devils, lobster-creatures, and an infinity of other hideous, comic, and scatalogical details.

 Félicien Rops - The Techniques - Tentation de St-Antoine
"The subject is easy to understand; the good Saint Anthony, pursued by lustful visions, hastens to his prie-dieu, but at the same time, Satan - a peculiar red monk - plays a trick on him; he removes Christ from the cross and replaces Him with a beautiful girl, any self-respecting devil always has one handy.
All of this is a mere pretext to paint a beautiful girl as nature intended her to be.
Other painters, whose psychological insight was not as penetrating, positioned their analogous representations of temptation, with sin insolent and triumphant, somewhere alongside the Saviour on the Cross.
