"Imagine that all colours of life were taken away, blue, red, green, yellow, beige...Do you think we could live without them? How monotonous everything would be, how terrible. That's what the arts are: the colours of life"

The funny character ( ) is a detail from one of the panels that the German Renaissance painter Matthias Grünewald painted for the so called Isenheim Altarpiece. It can be now seen at the Unterlinden museum in Colmar (France). The panels depict the Temptations of Saint Anthony.

The painting is dated as early as 1515! Can you believe it?
