Description
Spanish School 19th century.
"The Temptations of Saint Anthony".
Oil on canvas.
Measurements: 40 x 29,5 cm.
It presents small scratches and detachments of paint.
We are in front of the representation of the Temptations of Saint Anthony Abbot, a theme that has been very recurrent in the history of art and that has been represented in several periods and styles by artists as well known as El Bosco, Salvador Dalí or Joos Van Craesbeek.
Saint Anthony, also called Anton Abbot, lived in Egypt between 251 and 356. He spent most of his adult life in the desert, living as a hermit. He was the first mystic in the secluded corners of the harsh Thebaid. He sought solitude and spent much of his time in meditation and prayer.
According to the Catholic saintly narrative, the young man who had fled from the presence of men found solitude populated by demons. The spirit of evil, which had foreseen in this young man the father of a heroic race, appeared before him again and again "with its innumerable transformations and its infinite species". St. Anthony saw the world covered by the nets of the Evil One, who appeared to him as "a deformed monster, whose head touched the clouds and in whose claws were caught many souls who were trying to fly to God".
Later, the founder of the hermits warned his disciples in writing about the dangerous enemies of the solitary:
"Terrible and perfidious are our adversaries. Their multitudes fill space. They are always near us. Among them there is a great loneliness. Leaving it to the wisest to explain their nature, let us content ourselves with learning of the cunning they use in their assaults against us".
Thus, in this piece St. Anthony is depicted writing at his desk, surrounded by temptations, lust, power and wealth.
