Question

Jasper Johns traced out a fallen soldier in this artwork, painted over it in black, rotated it 90 degrees, and placed it in the left half of the painting Perilous Night. (15[1])This work is the subject of the second essay in Joris-Karl Huysmans’s Trois Primitifs, and in it, he discusses the puzzling nature of a crowned woman in this work who peers out of a doorway and is surrounded by a bright halo. That (-5[1])figure in this work appears near an angel playing the (*) viola da gamba underneath an ornate canopy. In this work, the phrase “He must increase, but I must decrease” (10[1])is written next to John the Baptist, (-5[1])who points at an emaciated and pustulent figure. (10[1])A demon (10[1])with a bird’s head raises a stick to a saint in blue while a dragon-headed demon pulls at his hair in a scene from this work’s depiction of the Temptation of St. Anthony. For 10 points, name this altarpiece (-5[1])by Matthias Grünewald. (10[2]0[1])■END■
