The Temptation of St Anthony

69
The Temptation of St Anthony (16th c.) reflects Hieronymus Bosch’s influence on his followers. It depicts the spiritual trials of Saint Anthony the Great, a common theme in Medieval and Renaissance art. The surreal, grotesque style, featuring demons encircling the saint, exemplifies Bosch’s impact on portraying spiritual and mental torment, highlighting the era’s fascination with the battle between good and evil.
