De verzoeking van de H. Antonius, 1840 Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter
Immerse yourself in the vivid portrayal of Saint Anthony's temptation. Kneeling in a cave, the saint is pictured in fervent prayer, his hands folded over an open book resting on a skull. His solitude is interrupted by an array of devils and monsters, each attempting to distract him from his devotion. The air is filled with an eerie presence of a bat, while a frog and a bird engage in a joust atop flying fish. To the left, a devil cloaked in a monk's hood clutches a rosary, adding to the haunting surrealism of the scene.
