Bird With Letter From Temptation

Large replica of the Bird With Letter from Temptation of St Anthony by Hieronymus Bosch.Hieronymus Bosch was an Early Netherlander painter. His work is known for its fantastic imagery, detailed landscapes, and illustrations of religious concepts and narratives. Within his lifetime his work was collected in the Netherlands, Austria, and Spain, and widely copied, especially his macabre and nightmarish depictions of hell. Hand painted in vivid colors and made of a durable resin. The Bird is one of the many freakish figures which appear in The Temptation of Saint Anthony triptych (c. 1500, Museum Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon) which is intended to teach Christian messages to the faithful.
