Salvator Rosa, Temptation of Saint Anthony, original and imitation?

I was looking for paintings by Salvator Rosa and stumbled across this copy of his Temptation Of Saint Anthony painting. It's attributed to Rosa and dated 1646 at the blog where I found it, but I'm almost certain this is an imitation by another artist of the original above.

This woodblock print comes from J.A.S. Collin de Plancy's "Dictionnaire Infernal" released in Paris, 1863.
