The Temptation of St. Anthony | Bernardo Parentino | 1494

Bernardo Parentino’s The Temptation of St. Anthony (1494) is a vivid depiction of the saint’s struggle against demonic torment in the desert. The chaotic composition is filled with grotesque, hybrid creatures attacking the reclining hermit, symbolizing his spiritual trials. Parentino’s dark, fiery palette and intricate details reflect the influence of Hieronymus Bosch, blending religious mysticism with nightmarish imagery. This work exemplifies late medieval and early Renaissance religious art, portraying the endurance of faith amidst supernatural turmoil.
