Remastered Art The Temptation of Saint Anthony by Joos van Craesbeeck 20240119
Artists and authors have long represented the temptation of St. Anthony in their art. Many homages to Bosch's Triptych of the Temptation of St. Anthony were made, of which Craesbeeck clearly draws inspiration. A large screaming head dominates the painting, spewing forth many devils as a metaphor for evil thoughts given physical form. It has an open forehead which contains a miniature artist. This use of a human head as a container is likely derived from Bosch's iconography. St. Anthony is seen in the front of the painting, sitting in a shelter and holding the Scriptures to fortify himself. The sea in front of him washes up a variety of evil spirits and other temptations. -wikipedia
Joos van Craesbeeck[1] (c. 1605/06 – c. 1660) was a Flemish baker and a painter who played an important role in the development of Flemish genre painting in the mid-17th century through his tavern scenes and dissolute portraits. His genre scenes depict low-life figures as well as scenes of middle-class people. He created a few religiously themed compositions. -wikipedia
