Attached: 1 image This is about one of several #PictorialReferences (from an illustration to #LewisCarroll's "#TheHuntingOftheSnark") by #HenryHoliday to #MatthiasGrünewald's paintings (https://snrk.de/how-gustave-dore-might-have-played-with-pareidolia/#wildmen) in the #MuseéUnterlinden in #Colmar, France. #IsenheimAltarPiece #TemptationOfStAnthony #BookIllustration #Allusions #PictorialReferences #PictorialAllusions

Playing with Pareidolia – The Hunting of the Snark

Two renderings of a segment from #MatthiasGrünewald‘s "#TemptationOfStAnthony" (part of the #IsenheimAltarpiece), where on the right side copy a part of the rendering has been low-pass filtered and decolorized.

I (and probably #GustaveDoré as well: https://snrk.de/how-gustave-dore-might-have-played-with-pareidolia/#horse) spotted a monstrous head in the "Temptations of St Anthony" painting. The #MuséeUnterlinden retweeted my findings (https://snrk.de/musee-unterlinden-retweets/).

This is bycatch of my analysis of Henry Holiday's Snark illustrations.

Gustave Doré probably spotted that hidden head many years before I found it.

Segments from:
※ Left: Illustration Plate I (mirror view) by #GustaveDoré to chapter 1 in #MiguelDeCervantes#DonQuixote, 1863 edition.
※ Right: "Temptation of St Anthony" by #MatthiasGrünewald (c. between 1512 and 1516, a panel of the #IsenheimAltarpiece, now located at #MuseéUnterlinden, Colmar, France).
