Landscape with the Temptation of Saint Anthony, 1617. Additional Info: Transforming the theme of the temptation of Saint Anthony into a celebration of nature's magnificence, Flemish landscape and still life painter Roelandt Savery depicted the hermit Anthony reading a Bible - oblivious to the antics of numerous fantastic demons - while seated in a rustic cell. His wooden hut is nestled in a majestic and thickly wooded alpine wilderness, the true subject of Savery's painting.</p>
