Temptation of St Anthony
Pieter Huys

| | | | In the works of northern masters, realistic landscapes of Italian painters are transformed into fantasy-scapes in which anthropomorphic forms mix with imaginary ones. These often accompany the usual Christian motifs, like a temptation of Saint Anthony, representing a bizarre mixture of legend and pure imagination. |
