A woman in a blue gown with orange sleeves and a red headdress offers him a large gold cup; taloned feet show beneath her hem. A path climbs to a chapel behind, and a spired town stands across the water. The gold border teems with silver-grey acanthus, a dragon and a griffin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to his biographer, Anthony withdrew to the Egyptian desert in the 300s and endured the devil's assaults in seductive and horrible visions. Van Lathem moved the hermit's retreat to the edge of a prosperous Flemish town of the 1400s and dressed the temptress in the fashion of his own day. The pig recalls the Hospitallers of Saint Anthony, whose animals a papal dispensation allowed to roam medieval towns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: a leaf from the Prayer Book of Charles the Bold, tempera colours, gold leaf, gold paint, silver paint and ink, written in Ghent and illuminated in Antwerp in 1469; J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLieven van Lathem (about 1430–1493) was a Flemish illuminator, a member of the painters' guilds of Ghent and Antwerp, who worked for the dukes of Burgundy, Philip the Good and Charles the Bold. Influenced by Jan van Eyck and Dieric Bouts, he painted in fresh, intense colours with a lyrical naturalism, especially in his landscapes, and collaborated with the Master of Mary of Burgundy and Nicolas Spierinc. Miniatures he painted in 1469 are in the J. Paul Getty Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
