"The Temptation of Saint Anthony" is a triptych oil painting by the Early Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch, believed to have been completed around 1501. The work is housed in the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga in Lisbon, Portugal. Bosch's painting is one of several representations of the theme of Saint Anthony Abbot, a Christian monk from Egypt whose story of temptation by demonic forces in the desert became a popular subject in medieval and Renaissance art.

The central panel of the triptych depicts Saint Anthony being tormented by a variety of grotesque creatures, a hallmark of Bosch's imaginative style. The saint is shown calmly resisting the demons, which symbolize the temptations of the flesh and the spiritual struggles of man. The left panel portrays the saint's flight into the desert, while the right panel shows his visit to Saint Paul the Hermit, another anchorite who lived in the desert.

Bosch's work is renowned for its intricate detail, vivid color, and the surreal and nightmarish quality of its figures. The fantastical creatures and the chaotic scenes are interpreted as visual translations of the inner turmoil and the psychological battles associated with spiritual asceticism. The painting is also noted for its innovative use of landscape to frame the narrative, with the panels seamlessly transitioning from one scene to the next.

"The Temptation of Saint Anthony" is considered a masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art and is a key example of Bosch's contribution to the development of symbolic and allegorical painting. The work has been subject to various interpretations, with scholars often debating the meaning of its complex iconography and its place within the broader context of Bosch's oeuvre and medieval religious beliefs.
