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. 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 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” is written next to John the Baptist, who points at an emaciated and pustulent figure. A demon 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 by Matthias Grünewald. (10[1]) (10[1])■END■
