Painting: The Temptations of St Anthony

This is just a snippet – bottom right-hand corner – of a painting I saw in Cologne. I thought it was fantastic when i saw the thing. I can’t remember who painted it – medieval-ish (see the gold around St Antony’s head) but so oddly anachronisitc with the attacking demons – they might be straight out of a Ralph Steadman drawing
