Hieronymus Bosch, Temptation of St. Anthony, left wing

Brussels Museum of Fine Arts

Hieronymus Bosch (Jeroen van Aken, ca 1450-1516), Temptation of St. Anthony, left wing (detail). Original, Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon. Copy, Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Brussels.

After St. Anthony - according to the medieval literature - had been overwhelmed by a horde of devils and left for dead, he is carried over the bridge by fellow hermits towards an old tomb where he had been praying, but where he is again attacked and tossed high into the air so as to be borne and surrounded by several demons, while clasping his hands in desperate prayer.
