The temptation of Saint Anthony

About the Item

The temptation of Saint Anthony - Attributed to Cornelis de Baeillieur Oil on copper Cornelis de Baellieur the Elder was an Antwerp painter who was strongly influenced by Frans Francken the Younger. Our painting partly copies a popular composition by Frans Francken II of which several versions exist: some are attributed to Frans Francken II or to his workshop, others to Cornelis de Baellieur. According to the RKD he was a pupil of Anthonis Liesaert and is known for paintings of art galleries such as Interior of an Art Gallery. He became a master in the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke in 1626. He drew figures in the paintings of other painters, such as Hans III Jordaens. Saint Anthony was the first Christian who consecrated a large part of his life to solitude: an existence of abstinence and self-denial free of earthly attachments. Our painting shows how the devil attacked his mind with lustful thoughts and his body with seductive or frightful creatures.
