FISH WITH TOWER
From the Tryptichon "The Temptation of Saint Anthony"
On the left panel one can find this peculiar fish with architectural features that is prepared to eat its fellow sort. It is a diabolical creature with its red, armoured second skin on which the turret is displayed. He is situated right in front of the brothel, one of the temptations that Antonius resisted gloriously.
HIERONYMUS BOSCH (1450 - 1516)
THE TEMPATION OF SAINT ANTHONY Saint Anthony won a lot of praise in Hiëronymus Bosch's heyday. He resisted diabolical temptations, in sharp contrast with the ordinary mortals, as this triptych portrays in splendid colours. The closed panels show the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus.
