The Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald was made for the Monastery of St. Anthony, at which ill plague victims who often had skin disfigurements and ergotism were cared for. Christ is shown with ergotism and sores, emphasizing that He understands human suffering.

Nota Bene: For an excellent analysis and some fascinating historic information about the Isenheim Altarpiece, check out this article that appeared in Smithsonian Magazine.
