Description

David Teniers the Younger The Temptation of Saint Anthony Oil on panel (parquetted). 54 x 45.5 cm. Certificate Dr Klaus Ertz, Lingen, 23.10.19. Saint Anthony was born into a family of wealthy farmers from Come in Egypt (modern-day Qiman al-Arus). Following the death of his parents when he was just 18, Anthony was forced to take over the running of their estate and raise his younger sister alone. From that time onwards, he lived by the words of Christ: “If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor” (Matthew 19:21). He sold everything he owned, entrusted his sister to the care of a community of female ascetics, and in the year 275 he began life as a hermit, living in extreme poverty. During his solitude he was visited by many demons who came to tempt him. According to legend, the devil appeared to him in the form of one or more beautiful women and he was wounded, dragged by the hair and thrown to the ground by claws, teeth, and horns. When his hut went up in flames, he was finally swept up into the air and subjected to numerous attacks. Ever more people came to visit Anthony in his hermitage, asking for advice. Sick visitors asked to be healed, and priests and ascetics wanted to learn from him. He gradually amassed a number of disciples and smaller hermitages sprang up around him. Thus, Anthony became the founder of monasteries and father of monastic life in general. The present work belongs to a group of paintings by this master depicting the temptations of Saint Anthony. Some depict him beside his hut on a rock whilst others, such as the present work, show him in a cave. The figures and creatures sent to tempt the saint also vary within Teniers' works. Klaus Ertz dates the present panel to the 1640s. David Teniers d. J. Die Versuchung des heiligen Antonius Öl auf Holz (parkettiert). 54 x 45,5 cm. Gutachten Dr. Klaus Ertz, Lingen, 23.10.2019 Antonius wurde in eine wohlhabende Bauernfamilie in Come (heute Qiman al-Arus) in Ägypten geboren. Im Alter von circa 18 Jahren musste er nach dem Tod seiner Eltern den Hof übernehmen und seine jüngere Schwester großziehen. Fortan lebte er nach Christus Worten: „Wenn Du vollkommen sein willst, dann verkaufe alles, was Du hast, und gib es den Armen.“ (Matthäus 19, 21) Antonius veräußerte daraufhin seinen gesamten Besitz, gab seine Schwester asketisch lebenden Frauen zur Fürsorge und wurde um das Jahr 275 Einsiedler in radikaler Armut. In seiner Einsamkeit lebend, wurde er immer wieder von den Dämonen in Versuchung geführt. So erschien ihm nach der Überlieferung der Teufel in Gestalt einer oder mehrerer schöner Frauen, oder er wurde mit Krallen, Zähnen oder Hörnern verwundet, zu Boden geschlagen, an den Haaren gerissen und als seine Behausung in Flammen aufging, schließlich unter bedrohlichen Angriffen von allen Seiten in die Luft gehoben. In seiner Einsiedelei besuchten ihn immer mehr Menschen, um seinen Rat zu suchen. Kranke erbaten ihre Heilung und Geistliche sowie Asketen wollten von ihm lernen. Nachdem immer mehr Jünger sich um ihn sammelten, bildeten sich kleine Einsiedeleien. So wird Antonius auch als Begründer des Klosterwesens und Vater des Mönchtums angesehen. Unser Gemälde gehört zu einer Reihe von Werken des Malers zum Thema der Versuchung des hl. Antonius. Teilweise ist der Heilige vor seiner Hütte an einem Felsen dargestellt, oder wie auch bei unserem Werk, innerhalb der Felsenhöhle. Auch die Figuren und Wesen, welche Antonius in Versuchung führen variieren in Teniers Darstellungen. Dr. Klaus Ertz ordnet die Entstehungszeit unserer Tafel in die 1640er Jahre ein.
