"St Anthony (detail 1)" is a notable work created around 1515 by the German Renaissance painter Matthias Grünewald, also known as Mathis Gothardt. Grünewald is renowned for his emotionally intense and vividly expressive style, which stands in stark contrast to the more serene and harmonious works of his contemporaries, such as Albrecht Dürer. This particular piece is a detail from a larger altarpiece, which exemplifies Grünewald's mastery in depicting religious themes with a profound sense of drama and spirituality.

The detail of St. Anthony is part of the Isenheim Altarpiece, a monumental polyptych originally created for the Monastery of St. Anthony in Isenheim, Alsace (now France). The altarpiece was intended to serve as a source of solace and inspiration for patients suffering from ergotism, also known as St. Anthony's Fire, a disease caused by consuming ergot-contaminated rye. The depiction of St. Anthony, the patron saint of those afflicted by skin diseases, is particularly poignant within this context.

Grünewald's portrayal of St. Anthony is marked by its intense emotional depth and meticulous attention to detail. The saint is often depicted in a moment of divine ecstasy or spiritual struggle, reflecting the dual nature of his role as both a healer and a sufferer. The artist's use of vivid colors, dramatic lighting, and intricate textures enhances the emotional impact of the scene, drawing the viewer into the saint's profound spiritual experience.

The Isenheim Altarpiece, and by extension the detail of St. Anthony, is celebrated for its innovative composition and powerful imagery. It stands as a testament to Grünewald's unique artistic vision and his ability to convey complex theological concepts through his art. Today, the altarpiece is housed in the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, France, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and study for its artistic and historical significance.
