The temptation (or temptations) of St. Anthony is an often-repeated subject in history of art and literature, concerning the supernatural temptation reportedly faced by Saint Anthony the Great during his sojourn in the Egyptian desert. Anthony’s temptation is first discussed by Athanasius of Alexandria, Anthony’s contemporary, and from then became a popular theme in Western cultur. Bad pic from a vintage transparency.
