'''''The Temptation of St. Anthony''''' is a painting of disputed authorship, attributed to either the [[Early Netherlandish painting|Early Netherlandish]] artist [[Hieronymus Bosch]] or a follower. It is now in the [[Museo del Prado]], in [[Madrid]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The work was in the [[El Escorial|Escorial]] monastery, although it was not mentioned in inventories; later it was moved to the Prado. It is likely that the work was one of the ''Temptations'' sent to the monastery by [[Philip II of Spain]] in 1574. This painting has a more serene atmosphere than the [[triptych]] with the same theme now in the [[National Museum of Ancient Art|Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga]] of [[Lisbon]].<ref name="Varallo">{{cite book |first=Franca |last=Varallo |title=Bosch |publisher=Skira |location=Milan |year=2004}}</ref><br />
<br />
Like all Bosch's works, it cannot be dated with precision, although it is likely from his late production (1500–1516).<ref name="Varallo"/><br />
<br />
In 2016, the Bosch Research and Conservation project, after five years of researching all known Bosch paintings, announced that they had significant doubts about the attribution of the work to Bosch, instead attributing it to a follower.<ref>{{Cite news|url = https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/17/arts/design/prado-museum-rescinds-loan-of-downgraded-hieronymus-bosch-works.html|title = Prado Museum Rescinds Loan of Downgraded Hieronymus Bosch Works|last = Siegal|first = Nina|date = 2016-02-16|newspaper = The New York Times|issn = 0362-4331|access-date = 2016-03-12}}</ref><br />

==Description==<br />
[[File:J. Bosch Prado Temptation of St Anthony (detail).jpg|thumb|240px|left|Detail]]<br />
[[Anthony the Great|St. Anthony the Abbot]] is portrayed in meditation, in a sunny landscape near the trunk of a dry tree. St. Anthony is a recurrent figure in Bosch's work, with up to 15 paintings of this subject, all inspired by legends told in the ''[[Golden Legend]]'' and in his ''Life'' by [[Athanasius of Alexandria]]. He is represented in a setting of solitude and temptation that the saint experienced over twenty years. Although this picture is significantly different from other works by Bosch of St. Anthony, such as the triptych painting of the same name, customary features of the abbot include his dark brown habit with the Greek letter "[[tau]]" and a pig by his side.<ref name="Museodelprado">{{cite web |title=The Temptation of Saint Anthony |accessdate=2015-06-14 |publisher=Museo Nacional del Prado |location=Madrid, Spain |url=https://www.museodelprado.es/en/the-collection/online-gallery/on-line-gallery/obra/the-temptation-of-saint-anthony/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Kren |first1=Emil |last2=Marx |first2=Daniel |url=http://www.wga.hu/html/b/bosch/5panels/07anthon.html |title=The Temptation of St Anthony |website=The Web Gallery of Art |accessdate=26 February 2010}}</ref><br />
<br />
In contrast to the earlier paintings with St. Anthony, this version of the temptation of St. Anthony finds the abbot calmer from his meditative spirit. His surroundings are peaceful and evoke a sense of calm. The pig lies next to him like a pet. Once demons, the creatures of temptation are now more like goblins and do not disturb the peaceful feeling of the painting.<br />
<br />
This painting, originally framed with a semi-circular arch, was one of Bosch's later works, from sometime after 1490. [[Philip II of Spain]] sent it to the Monastery of El Escorial near Madrid. From there the painting came to the Museo del Prado as part of the [[Royal Collection of Spain|Royal Collection]].<ref name="Museodelprado" /><br />
