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.

This is one of several references (in an illustration to #LewisCarroll's "#TheHuntingOftheSnark") by #HenryHoliday to #MatthiasGrünewald's paintings (https://snrk.de/how-gustave-dore-might-have-played-with-pareidolia/#wildmen).
I found the hidden "head" (https://mastodon.art/@snark/109313077135427231) when working on this comparison.

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).https://snrk.de/monstrous-heads/
