The Temptation of St Anthony, 1550 Jheronimus Bosch
In this dramatic scene, we encounter the devout hermit, St. Anthony, deep in prayer in the foreground. To the right, an inn sports a roof shaped like an old woman's head, while a seductive young woman stands nude at the door, embodying temptation. The left background is dominated by a monastery engulfed in flames, with a swarm of fantastical monsters soaring through the sky, adding to the chaotic and surreal atmosphere.
