The Temptation of St. Anthony 1877

"The Temptation of St. Anthony" (1877) by Paul Cézanne depicts a scene from the biblical story of St. Anthony, who is tempted by a devil in the form of a woman. The painting is a powerful depiction of the struggle between good and evil, and Cézanne's bold brushstrokes and use of color create a sense of unease and tension. The painting is notable for its Impressionistic style, with its emphasis on light and color, and its influence can be seen in the work of artists like Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Cézanne's work often featured religious themes and his "The Temptation of St. Anthony" stands as a testament to his artistic genius.
