"The Temptation of Saint Anthony" is a painting attributed to the Early Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch, believed to have been created around 1500. This work is one of several that Bosch dedicated to the theme of the Christian hermit saint who was said to have been tempted by demonic illusions in the desert. The painting is a triptych, a common format for altarpieces of the time, consisting of three panels that fold together. The central panel typically depicts the main narrative, with the side panels offering supplementary scenes or closed views.

Bosch's interpretation of Saint Anthony's temptations is rich in symbolic and fantastical imagery, characteristic of his unique style that combines religious themes with otherworldly, often nightmarish visions. The central panel usually shows Saint Anthony steadfast in his faith despite the surrounding chaos of monsters and temptations. The left and right wings might depict episodes from the saint's life or further illustrate his moral fortitude against the backdrop of a sinful world.

The exact location and provenance of this specific work are not provided here, but Bosch's paintings of this subject are known for their complex iconography and detailed landscapes filled with a variety of grotesque creatures. These elements serve to convey the spiritual and psychological struggles of the saint, as well as the broader human condition. Bosch's "The Temptation of Saint Anthony" is often considered a precursor to the surrealist movement due to its dreamlike and fantastical elements that challenge the viewer's perception of reality.

As with many of Bosch's works, the interpretation of "The Temptation of Saint Anthony" is subject to scholarly debate, with various theories proposed about the meaning of its intricate details and enigmatic symbolism. The painting is typically seen as a reflection of the moral and theological concerns of its time, including the dangers of heresy, the importance of vigilance against sin, and the power of divine grace.
