"In addition, following a trip to the fish market, Michelangelo heightened the naturalism of Schongauer’s demons by painting silvery scales onto the spiny, fishlike monster in the upper left.
*This demon is inspired by the painting The Torment Of St. Anthony (1487) by Michelangelo Buonarroti which itself was inspired by the print Saint Anthony Tormented By Demons (1470-75) by Martin Schongauer
