About The Torment of Saint Anthony
"The Torment of Saint Anthony", the earliest known painting by Michelangelo, shows the common medieval subject, included in the Golden Legend and other sources, of Saint Anthony being assailed in the desert by demons, whose temptations he resisted. This composition shows a later episode where St Anthony, normally flown about the desert supported by angels, was ambushed in mid-air by devils. Anthony is on a rocky area half way in the air surrounded by several demons that all have grimacing looks on their faces. Below the jagged rocks is a large body of water with mountains that are far away in the background. "The Torment of Saint Anthony" was bought at a Sotheby's auction in July 2008 by an American art dealer for US$2 million.
