From the Middle Ages to modernism · Desert, monsters and inner resistance
A tiny hermit remains at the center of a world that is going haywire: Bosch monsters, Flemish devilry, modern flesh and hallucinatory landscapes give shape to Antoine's inner struggle.
The Temptation of Saint Anthony recounts the trials of Anthony the Great, an Egyptian hermit born around 251 and died in 356. Retired to the desert, the saint resists visions, demonic attacks, fear, lust and discouragement. The stories of Athanasius then the Golden Legend spread the motif in the Christian West. In the Middle Ages, the assaults took the form of demons who beat or raise the solitary. At the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century, Schongauer, Bosch and their heirs transformed the subject into a laboratory of the fantastic: flying fish, ruined architecture, hybrid bodies and fires materialized threatening thoughts. Flemish painters like Jan Brueghel and David Teniers then multiply small hermits lost in vast teeming landscapes. In Italy, Veronese, Tintoretto, Magnasco and Ricci favor, depending on the case, dramatic assault, celestial light or baroque gestures. Cézanne, Corinth, Fantin-Latour and other modern artists still shift the theme towards flesh, color and subjective vision. Despite these metamorphoses, one principle remains: the spectacle belongs to temptations, but stability belongs to Antoine.

The more monsters occupy the web, the smaller Antoine can become: his victory depends neither on his size nor his strength, but on the stubborn direction of his attention.
