"The Temptation of St. 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. This painting is one of several representations by Bosch of the hermit saint's trials in the desert, a theme that was widely popular during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

The central panel of the triptych depicts St. Anthony, renowned for his piety and discipline, resisting various temptations and torments inflicted by demons and fantastical creatures. These temptations are both physical and spiritual, ranging from seductive figures to grotesque monsters, illustrating the saint's inner struggle against the forces of evil. The left panel shows the saint being physically tormented by demons as he is carried through the air, while the right panel presents his visit to a hermit in a tranquil scene contrasting the chaotic central and left panels.

Bosch's vivid and imaginative portrayal of the saint's experiences is characterized by its intricate detail, rich symbolism, and the use of fantastical imagery. The work is a prime example of Bosch's unique style, which combines elements of the Gothic with an early form of the fantastic that would later influence the surrealist movement. "The Temptation of St. Anthony" is not only a religious painting but also a reflection of the human condition, exploring themes of temptation, virtue, and the enduring battle between good and evil.

The painting's provenance and the exact date of its creation have been subjects of scholarly debate, with some experts suggesting that it may be one of several copies or versions of the theme executed by Bosch and his workshop. Despite these uncertainties, "The Temptation of St. Anthony" remains a significant work in the oeuvre of Hieronymus Bosch and a masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art, attracting scholarly attention and public fascination for its complex iconography and its insight into the human psyche.
