The Temptation of St Anthony after
1640 Oil on oak, 52,5 x 81,5 cm Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne The temptations or trials of St Anthony, who was tormented by spectres, witches and devils while living as a hermit among the barren cliffs, had often been depicted in Netherlandish painting. The basic type of mountain cliffs and fantastic figures in human and animal forms shows a clear relationship to Bosch and Bruegel. As well as peasant scenes, landscapes and mythology, Teniers had an interest in depicting ghosts, witches and alchemists. , Artist: TENIERS, David the Younger , The Temptation of St Anthony , 1651-1700 , Flemish , painting , religious |
