EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "St. Anthony never was tempted like. . " takes us on a whimsical journey through the eyes of Ye Pilgrimage of ye Revnd Simpleheart, a naive missionary in the South Seas. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this pen and watercolor illustration captures a comical scene from the adventures of our protagonist during his voyage to New Zealand. In this particular episode, we find ourselves amidst an African tribe's village, where St. Anthony finds himself facing temptation like never before. The artist skillfully portrays a group of native women seducing our unsuspecting missionary with their alluring charms inside one of their huts. The humorous nature of this painting is evident as we witness St. Anthony's bewildered expression while being surrounded by these mischievous natives who are determined to test his resolve. The detailed sketching and vibrant watercolors bring life to each character and add depth to the narrative. Through this artwork, we are reminded that even those considered virtuous can be susceptible to temptation when faced with unfamiliar environments and cultures. It serves as both entertainment and commentary on human nature's universal struggles regardless of time or place. This delightful piece from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection invites us into a world filled with adventure, curiosity, and unexpected encounters – reminding us that even saints have their moments of weakness.
