In fact, Saint Anthony is one of those great mythical figures in whom the West recognizes itself. The temptations that assail him are those of our entire civilization: money, women, the world, and also those other labyrinthine worlds, real or imaginary, in which the European genius from the Middle Ages to the present day delights. Don Juan and Faust are none other than the antithesis of Anthony; for, as Bosch and Flaubert understood, the supreme temptation of Western man lies in the cunning equation of intelligence and stupidity.
This lively study of Saint Anthony, his obsessions, sometimes serious, sometimes burlesque, is an excellent introduction to a new analysis of the man of today.
With audacity, invention, verve and picturesqueness, this theme has inspired, from the 14th century to the present day, artists as different as Bosch and Cranach, Grünewald and Tiepolo, Veronese and Tintoretto, Callot and Teniers, Fantin-Latour and Odilon Redon, Khnopff and Dali, Rodin and Max Ernst.
