The Issenheim altar by Mathias Grünenwald (Unterlinden museum in Colmar) shows various scenes from the life of St Antony, abbot. The Tentation panel has been considered as an illustration of the sacer ignis, or St Antony's disease (ergotism). In fact, it may more likely indicate an early representation of Syphilis, or the French disease, as discussed here.
马蒂亚斯·格吕内瓦尔德创作的伊森海姆祭坛画（位于科尔马的 Unterlinden 博物馆）展现了圣安东尼隐修院长生平的各种场景。《诱惑》画板一直被视为圣安东尼之火（即麦角中毒）的例证。事实上，正如本文所讨论的，它更有可能描绘的是梅毒，即法国病的早期表现。
