    Painting & Drawing Religion 16th century

    I ordered a bunch of framed prints as gifts, and one for myself. I love them, I want more, wish my whole house was salon-style pictures from PDR.

    Prints arrived relatively quickly and were of very high quality.

    I’m addicted to these prints. The quality is exceptional and if you’re a fan of the PDR, then these are a no-brainer. I’ve got a small collection now. They also make for excellent, original gifts.

    Beautiful reproductions, incredible imagination and imaginative curation. Great care taken with packaging and presentation.

    Just gorgeous prints - I’ve ordered around four over the years and they’re honestly faultless. Huge recommendation.

    Stunning prints in excellent quality. I could not be happier with the results. I will continue to fill my home with art from PDR’s prints shop.

    I own several PDR prints and have also given them as gifts. The attention to detail never disappoints! This is true from the curation to the artifact that you receive in the mail. Highly recommended.

    I got a framed Munch print as a Christmas gift for my brother. The print was beautiful with super clear resolution and the framing was immaculate.

    The PDR print shop is an excellent resource for unusual and unique prints from every era and style. They are beautifully executed, and arrive quickly. My highest recommendation!

    St Anthony is seen at half length in the left foreground, sunk in prayer. A river with a small boat steered by a woman separates the foreground from the actual scene of temptation on the right of the composition. There a nude woman stands inside a house, the upper part of which takes the form of the head of an old woman upon whose head perches a dovecote, a sign of a brothel in the 16th century. A monastery is going up in flames in the background to the left of St Anthony, with bird-like devils flying around in the clouds of smoke. There is also a flying fish with a devil on its back and an owl, both heading towards the house. This particular owl can be interpreted as a symbol of temptation and seduction. There are three variants of this scene of The Temptation of St Antony. In addition to a slightly larger version in the Prado in Madrid, which is very similar to the one in the Rijksmuseum, there is another on canvas in the Escorial, in which the brothel is replaced by a crucifix. In the past, these three versions have generally been regarded as copies after a lost work by Bosch, but now evidence points to this not being the case.
