Details

This figure appears in the painting "The Temptation of Saint Anthony" The mail-like monstrosity may bring a letter to the conspiring figures in the hole under the bridge. The funnel on his curious bird's head makes him a ridiculous appearance. This headdress refers elsewhere to wisdom or absent-mindedness, but that symbolism seems difficult to place here. In the days of Hieronymus (Jheronimus) Bosch, Saint Anthony was much admired. He resisted devilish temptations.
