"Project for an Arched Compartment in a Vaulted Room with a Scene of Christ Tempted" is a preparatory drawing or design attributed to the Italian painter Agostino Tassi (1578–1644), known for his landscape and architectural paintings. Tassi, a prominent figure in early 17th-century Roman art, was a teacher of Claude Lorrain and had associations with Caravaggio. This work is believed to be a study for a fresco or a segment of a larger decorative scheme, typical of the period's Baroque art, which often featured dramatic scenes and elaborate architectural settings.

The drawing likely represents a proposal for a vault decoration, showcasing Tassi's skill in creating illusionistic architectural perspectives, a technique known as quadratura. The scene depicted in the project is the biblical event of the Temptation of Christ, where Satan tempts Jesus in the wilderness, as described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. This theme was a common subject in Christian art, symbolizing the triumph of virtue and the steadfastness of faith.

Tassi's work is characterized by its sophisticated handling of perspective, creating a sense of depth and realism that would have been further enhanced by the play of light and shadow in a finished fresco. The project illustrates the transition from the more rigid and geometric Mannerist style to the dynamic and fluid compositions of the Baroque era. Although the final execution of this particular design is not documented, the drawing itself provides valuable insight into the preparatory processes and artistic considerations of 17th-century Italian fresco painters.

As a historical artifact, "Project for an Arched Compartment in a Vaulted Room with a Scene of Christ Tempted" offers a glimpse into the workshop practices of the time, as well as the artistic milieu in which Tassi operated. It is an important piece for understanding the development of Baroque art and the role of preparatory studies in the creation of large-scale decorative projects.
