"St. Anthony (detail)" c. 1515 is a notable work by the German Renaissance painter Matthias Grünewald, also known as Mathis Gothardt. This piece is a fragment of the larger Isenheim Altarpiece, which is considered one of Grünewald's masterpieces and a significant work of religious art from the early 16th century. The Isenheim Altarpiece was commissioned for the Monastery of St. Anthony in Isenheim, Alsace, which specialized in hospital work, particularly the treatment of skin diseases such as ergotism, also known as St. Anthony's Fire.

The "St. Anthony (detail)" specifically portrays St. Anthony the Great, a Christian monk from Egypt who is often regarded as the father of monasticism. In this detail, Grünewald captures the saint with remarkable emotional depth and realism, reflecting the intense spirituality and the trials faced by the saint. St. Anthony is depicted with a solemn expression, his visage marked by the hardships of his ascetic life. The intricate detailing in the facial features and the texture of the skin exemplifies Grünewald's mastery in conveying human suffering and divine grace.

Grünewald's use of color and light in this detail is particularly striking. The artist employs a dramatic contrast between light and shadow, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the figure and creating a sense of otherworldly illumination. This technique not only highlights the saint's physical form but also imbues the image with a spiritual intensity, drawing the viewer into a contemplative engagement with the subject.

The "St. Anthony (detail)" is a testament to Grünewald's ability to blend naturalistic detail with expressive emotion, a hallmark of his style. His work on the Isenheim Altarpiece, and this detail in particular, reflects the broader themes of suffering, redemption, and the human condition, resonating deeply with the spiritual and physical ailments of the time. Today, the Isenheim Altarpiece, including the "St. Anthony (detail)," is housed in the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
