The Temptation of St Anthony (ca. 1510) by Hieronymus Bosch (ca. 1450-1516) A tryptych describing the ordeals of St Anthony NB Back then, temptation not only had the meaning it has today, but also meant physical/mental assault by demons. So St Anthony is not only tempted by the pleasures of the flesh etc but he is also beaten up and terrorized by the demons.
