About this artwork
This painting was loosely based on a painting of an Unknown master of the 16th century, depicting the temptation of St. Antony. The medieval visual language, with its religious scenes, fabulous beings, dreams and morals, was the starting point for this work. Combined with other sources, such as photographs from the beginning of the twentieth century and childhood memories, there arose an image with a dreamy and unreal atmosphere. Just as the initial…
medieval painting. The work is painted with bright colors which are applied in thin layers, to give the image a powerful appearance. Verborg has developed an idiosyncratic palette with characteristic colors in unexpected combinations. Cheerful at first sight, but at second thought more alarming, toxic even—like that irresistible piece of candy that is actually of chemical substance.
