"The Temptation of St Antony (detail 5)" c. 1515 is a notable work by the German Renaissance painter Matthias Grünewald, also known as Mathis Gothardt. This piece is part of the larger Isenheim Altarpiece, which was created for the Monastery of St. Anthony in Isenheim, Alsace (now France). The altarpiece was commissioned by the Antonite order, who were dedicated to the care of plague sufferers and those afflicted with skin diseases, such as ergotism, also known as St. Anthony's Fire.

Grünewald's depiction of the Temptation of St. Antony is renowned for its intense emotional power and dramatic use of color and form. The scene captures the saint in the throes of a demonic assault, a common theme in Christian art that symbolizes the spiritual trials and tribulations faced by the faithful. In this particular detail, the artist's mastery in conveying anguish and chaos is evident. The grotesque figures and nightmarish creatures surrounding St. Antony are rendered with a vividness that emphasizes the saint's suffering and steadfast faith amidst torment.

The Isenheim Altarpiece, including this detail, is celebrated for its complex iconography and its ability to convey deep religious and existential themes. Grünewald's work stands out in the Northern Renaissance for its emotional intensity and its departure from the more serene and idealized forms of the Italian Renaissance. The altarpiece's panels, when opened and closed, reveal different scenes from the life of Christ and the saints, offering a multifaceted narrative that was intended to provide comfort and hope to the sick and dying who viewed it.

Grünewald's "The Temptation of St Antony" is a testament to his skill in blending the horrific with the divine, creating a powerful visual experience that continues to captivate viewers and scholars alike. The work's historical and artistic significance ensures its place as a key piece in the study of Renaissance art and religious iconography.
