The Temptation of St. Anthony
Work in progress by Julie Kwiatkowski Schuler.
I have been looking at a lot of the surreal, crowded, and incredible paintings of the Temptation of St. Anthony, but the temptations are still sex and money. I decided to go the opposite way and make my interpretation more simple. A wax anatomical model demonstrating the syphilitic plaques of the tongue. Money to come later.

Anthony
I was inspired by many of the very surreal and dense paintings of the Temptation of St. Anthony, but I went the opposite way, and decided to make mine very simple. Sex and money are the core temptations. This is a wax anatomical model depicting tongue lesions associated with syphilis. I plan on incorporating money, too.
