Temptation of St. Anthony

Painting

Calvin University Center Art Gallery

The painting depicts a group of people gathered in a dark cave; the central figures, dressed in historical attire, converse animatedly. Light streams from the cave's entrance, illuminating a book on the ground. A man with a red cap sits slightly apart, while a rugged landscape is visible through the entrance of the cave.
