Fish with Tower JB03 - Hiëronymus Bosch

HIERONYMUS BOSCH - Fish with Tower JB03

On the left panel one can find this peculiar fish with  architectural features that is prepared to eat its fellow sort. It is a diabolical creature with its red, armoured second skin on which the turret is displayed. He is situated right in front of the brothel, one of the temptations that Antonius resisted gloriously.

The Temptation of Saint Anthony
Saint Anthony won a lot of praise in Hiëronymus Bosch’s heyday. He resisted diabolical temptations, in sharp contrast with the ordinary mortals, as this triptych portrays in splendid colours.
