About the piece
This intricate oil on oak panel painting from around 1600 depicts a sweeping 'world landscape' filled with the surreal temptations of Saint Anthony. Following the Northern Renaissance traditions of Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel, the anonymous artist populates the craggy, mountainous terrain with a host of grotesque monsters and symbolic figures, offering endless details for the viewer to discover.
