Question

This figure is a pale, old, three-headed man in white billowing robes in a painting by Leonora Carrington inspired by an earlier work in which this man sits by a river with a pig at his feet. While speaking to this man, a hermit gazes up at a raven who brings two loaves of bread in a painting at the Unterlinden (“OONT-er-lin-den”) Museum. Michelangelo’s earliest known work copies an engraving titled for this man by Martin Schongauer (10[1])(“SHONE-gao-er”). This man is whisked away into the sky above sick people crossing a bridge at the left of a triptych by Hieronymus Bosch. An Alsatian (“al-SAY-shin”) monastery whose brothers cured ergotism commissioned an altarpiece (10[1])in which this man is attacked by bird-headed demons. For 10 points, (10[1])the Isenheim Altarpiece depicts (-5[1])that attack on what church father who was tempted in the Egyptian desert? (10[1])■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: Saint Anthony [accept The Temptation of St. Anthony] (The earlier painting is Bosch’s Temptation of Saint Anthony.)
