The Temptation of St. Anthony

Martin Schongauer

Cleveland Museum of Art

A black and white drawing depicts a bearded man in a long robe standing still while surrounded by fantastical creatures. The man on the left wears a long bearded robe and a monk-like hat, standing with his hands by his sides. He has a look of concern on his face. Surrounding him are various creatures, some with wings, sharp teeth, and claws. Some creatures appear to have multiple heads or limbs. A signature "M+S" is visible at the bottom center of the image. The background features a cloudy sky and wavy lines.
