Two Panels of an Altar - Temptation of Saint Anthony and Saint Jerome in a Landscape
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating masterpiece by the Early Netherlandish artist, Jan Wellens de Cock (ca. 1480-1527). This exquisite work of art, consisting of two separate panels, is currently held in a private collection and showcases the intricacies of the Renaissance period in Flanders. The left panel depicts the Temptation of Saint Anthony, a prominent figure in Christian monasticism and asceticism. Saint Anthony, portrayed as an elderly monk, is shown in a cave, surrounded by a multitude of demons and ghosts, attempting to lure him away from his faith. The saint, with unwavering determination, holds a cross in one hand and a book in the other, symbolizing his commitment to God and his devotion to the study of the Scriptures. On the right panel, we find Saint Jerome, the renowned Church Father, scholar, and theologian, in a serene landscape setting. He is depicted in the midst of his studies, with a lion at his side, symbolizing his strength and courage. The presence of the lion also represents the transformation of the wild beast into a gentle companion, symbolizing the power of Saint Jerome's faith and wisdom. Jan Wellens de Cock's exceptional use of oil on wood technique brings these two saints to life, allowing us to witness their unwavering faith and devotion amidst the trials and tribulations of their spiritual journeys. This stunning altarpiece serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and the importance of study and contemplation in the Christian tradition.
