Hermit Saints Triptych
techniek: Oil on Oak, 85.4 x 29.2 cm, 85.7 x 60.0 cm, 85.7 x 28.9 cm
The subjects of the Hermit Saints Triptych left the secular world behind to dedicate their lives entirely to God. The three saints depicted here had to overcome all manner of obstacles to achieve the purity they sought. In the central panel, Saint Jerome seems to be in the ruins of a heathen temple. While an idol topples behind him, Jerome focuses on a crucifix erected on the old throne in front of him. The reliefs on the latter refer to Hieronymus's spiritual and physical chastity, which he achieved through penance: he holds a stone, with which he beats his chest. Saint Anthony, in the left-hand panel, is tormented by countless demonic creatures. The devil tries to seduce him in the shape of a beautiful young woman who is bathing, but Anthony does not falter. In the right-hand panel, Saint Giles also remains pious, even after being hit by an arrow intended for the hind that God sent to provide milk for his sustenance. |  |

Heremietentriptiek
vervaardiger: Jeroen Bosch
De vroegchristelijke heiligen Antonius, Hiëronymus en Egidius trokken zich als kluizenaar terug in de woestijn om hun leven volledig aan God te wijden. Op die manier wilden ze zich bevrijden van aardse verlangens. Op de Heremietentriptiek beeldde Jheronimus Bosch hen af in vrome overpeinzing, ver van de bewoonde wereld. Hoewel ze steeds opnieuw door verleidingen werden geplaagd, wisten ze alle drie te volharden in hun geloof in God. |
