Anthony the Invisible One

The Temptation of Saint Anthony is a triptych by the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch exhibited in the National Museum of Ancient Art in Lisbon In a visionary manner it reproduces the temptations of the holy man in the desert by playing with the religious allegory the mystical symbols of his age and the popular taste for illustration More than a real image it is a mental image This mental image which transforms very quickly into imagination is therefore the subject of Anthony the Invisible One in which a guide presents the famous painting to three different audiences sighted people blind people and a deaf and blind man
