THE TEMPTATION OF SAINT ANTHONY /c.1870/ by FREDERICK CHARLES UNDERHILL
The painting represents the legendary temptations of St. Anthony of Egypt, considered the founder and father of organized Christian monasticism, he went to the desert to free himself from worldly temptations. This story is a very popular theme in art and represents the struggle of spiritual purity against earthly temptation.
The painting depicts Saint Anthony in distress and deep thought against a chaotic, surreal landscape. The background is filled with grotesque and fantastical creatures that embody the kind of temptations he encounters.
Underhill combined realism and romanticism in his work, but his focus leaned more toward dramatic lighting and emotional expression. The figures demonstrate attention to great anatomical detail, showing the artist's training and influences.
The demons take seductive forms due to the fact that temptation, as a spark of enjoyment, has its duality: it is attractive and dangerous. Moreover, this composition highlights the eternal conflict between virtue and vice. This makes the theme resonate with the viewers through the ages.

St. Anthony, faithful servant of Christ, you offered comfort and consolation to all who came to you in times of trouble. Pray for me now, that I may know true peace of mind, heart and soul. Help me grow in faith, so that I may be free from all useless and needless anxiety in this life, Amen.<3

So I've already posted the theory that Angel Dust has a pet pig as a reference to Charlotte's Web, but now I've got another theory.
I have a book called The Little Book of Saints, and I dipped back into it to see if there was anything about St Anthony (Anthony being Angel's real name). And there was!
And what it had to say was interesting...
Often depicted accompanied by a pig, Anthony is the patron saint of butchers.
So maybe Angel having a pet pig is not a Charlotte's Web reference, but a religious reference.
Or maybe it's both!
And Anthony being the patron saint of butchers ... I wonder if that name was chosen to reflect Angel's human life as a member of a mafia family? Hmmm...
