## Commentary

Although Hieronymus Bosch died in 1516, his work inspired numerous artists of the 16th and 17th centuries. The temptation of St Anthony is a frequently treated subject in Northern European art of the Renaissance. Mandijn drew inspiration for the present panel from &lt;a onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/b/bosch/90anthon/index.html&#39;\)&#34; href=&#34;/html/b/bosch/90anthon/index.html&#34;&gt;Bosch&#39;s famous triptych&lt;/a&gt; treating this subject, particularly from the final panel in which the saint is confronted by the ultimate temptation: that of the flesh.
