The Temptation of St Thomas Aquinas

1338
Poplar, 38 x 34 cm
Staatliche Museen, Berlin

This small predella panel was part of an altar signed and dated 1338. It shows the kneeling saint praying for strength in the face of temptation. He is quite literally backed up by angels as his temptress, the devil, stands uncertainly to the right.
