Santo Antonio o abade no deserto

Osservanza Master Italian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 956

O Mestre da Osservanza, discípulo do artista sienês Sassetta, é conhecido por uma série de oito cenas da vida do abade Santo Antônio. Neste painel, a predileção do artista pelos detalhes naturalistas de grande força descritiva é evidente na paisagem árida que lembra a região montanhosa perto do mar Vermelho, onde o santo eremita viveu as últimas décadas de sua vida. Em primeiro plano, Santo Antônio, resistindo à tentação dos bens materiais, recusa uma pilha de ouro (raspado para recuperar o precioso metal pouco tempo depois de pintar o quadro).
