This print is inspired by the very spectacular engraving that Callot made in the last years of his life.
It representsSt. Anthony raising the cross, prey to the attack of a cloud of demons who assail it, in the ruins of an imaginary palace.
In the sky,Satan himself, the monster par excellence, spits out thousands ofimps, while the whole board is bathed in a spooky atmosphere.
