"La Tentazione di Sant'Antonio Abate" (The Temptation of Saint Anthony the Abbot) is a renowned oil painting by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera (also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto). Created in the 17th century, this work exemplifies Ribera's mastery in depicting religious and mythological subjects with a dramatic use of light and shadow, a characteristic of the Tenebrist style that emerged during the Baroque period.

The painting portrays the episode of the temptation of Saint Anthony the Abbot, a popular narrative in Christian art that illustrates the saint's spiritual trials in the desert, where he is assailed by demons and temptations of the flesh. Ribera's interpretation of this theme is noted for its intense emotional expression and the vivid depiction of the saint's psychological and physical struggle against the forces of evil.

Ribera's "La Tentazione di Sant'Antonio Abate" is distinguished by its stark chiaroscuro and the powerful realism with which the figures are rendered. The artist's attention to anatomical detail and the tactile quality of surfaces contribute to the visceral impact of the scene. The saint's anguished expression and contorted posture, set against a dark and undefined background, focus the viewer's attention on the central drama of the narrative.

This painting is part of Ribera's broader oeuvre, which includes numerous works on religious themes, reflecting the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on piety and the dramatic portrayal of saints and martyrs. "La Tentazione di Sant'Antonio Abate" not only serves as a testament to Ribera's skill as a painter but also offers insight into the spiritual and artistic preoccupations of the Baroque era.

The artwork is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important example of Ribera's contribution to Spanish Baroque painting. It continues to be studied for its stylistic qualities and its place within the context of Ribera's artistic development and the broader history of European art.
