The Temptation of St. Anthony (detail) 1516

This detail from Matthias Grünewald's "The Temptation of St. Anthony" (1516) depicts a grotesque, demonic figure with wings, horns, and large, bulging eyes. The scene exemplifies the intense emotionalism and vivid imagery characteristic of Grünewald's style. His use of vibrant colors and dramatic contrasts creates a sense of unease and fear, reflecting the intense spiritual struggle depicted in the larger altarpiece. This work, housed in the Musée Unterlinden, is considered one of the most important works of German Renaissance art.
