Anthony the Great and Paul the Hermit is an illuminated manuscript painting by Jean Colombe, a notable French illuminator active during the late 15th century. This artwork is part of a larger collection of illuminated manuscripts that were highly popular in medieval Europe, particularly for their detailed and vibrant depiction of religious and historical themes.

Jean Colombe is renowned for his intricate work on the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, one of the most famous illuminated manuscripts from this period. In Anthony the Great and Paul the Hermit, Colombe illustrates a scene involving two of early Christianity's most revered hermits, Saint Anthony the Great, often considered the father of monasticism, and Saint Paul the Hermit, believed to be one of the first hermits in Christian history.

The painting captures a legendary meeting between the two saints in the desert, a popular theme in Christian art that symbolizes the virtues of solitude, prayer, and the monastic life. The artwork is characterized by Colombe's attention to detail, vibrant color palette, and the expressive depiction of the saints' faces and gestures. These elements not only highlight the spiritual significance of the scene but also reflect the artistic styles and religious sentiments of the 15th century.

This piece serves as an important cultural artifact, offering insights into the religious practices, artistic endeavors, and the societal values of the time. It remains a significant work for both its historical and artistic merits, exemplifying Jean Colombe's mastery in the art of illumination.
