The Temptation of Saint Anthony; La Tentation de St, c. 1874
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Paul Cezanne is a captivating oil painting that showcases the artist's mastery in capturing both religious and mythological themes. In this artwork, Cezanne depicts the biblical figure of Saint Anthony being tempted by various evil forces in a lush outdoor setting. The composition features a large group of people surrounding Saint Anthony, each representing different negative concepts and temptations. The women with fair hair and raised arms symbolize nymphs enticing him towards wickedness, while the devil lurks in the background, tempting him further. Cezanne's use of color adds depth to the scene, with rich browns dominating the landscape and contrasting against the vibrant reds worn by some figures. The tree branches overhead create an eerie atmosphere as they intertwine above Saint Anthony's head. The artist's post-impressionist style is evident in his brushwork and attention to detail. Each figure is meticulously rendered, showcasing Cezanne's commitment to portraying human form accurately. This small-scale painting invites viewers into a world where good battles evil amidst nature's beauty. It serves as a reminder of humanity's constant struggle between temptation and resistance while highlighting Cezanne's skill as one of France’s most celebrated artists from the late 19th century.
