"The Temptation of Christ by the Devil" is a notable woodcut by Christoffel Jegher, a Flemish artist known for his collaboration with Peter Paul Rubens. Created in the 17th century, this work of art depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ being tempted by Satan during his 40 days and nights in the Judaean Desert, as described in the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Jegher's rendition of this scene is significant for its intricate detail and the interplay of light and shadow, which was a result of the innovative woodcut techniques of the time.

Christoffel Jegher, born in Antwerp in 1596 and active until his death in 1652/53, was one of the most prominent woodcut artists of his era. His collaboration with Rubens, who was a master painter of the Flemish Baroque tradition, resulted in a series of woodcuts that were based on Rubens' designs. "The Temptation of Christ by the Devil" stands out as a prime example of Jegher's skill in translating the dynamic compositions and dramatic intensity of Rubens' paintings into the medium of woodcut prints.

The artwork captures the moment when Satan, often depicted as a dark, winged figure, presents various temptations to Christ in an attempt to sway him from his divine mission. The composition is likely to reflect the Baroque style's emphasis on movement, contrast, and emotional intensity, characteristics that Rubens' works are renowned for and that Jegher adeptly transferred onto wood.

As a significant piece of religious art from the Baroque period, "The Temptation of Christ by the Devil" not only serves as an example of Jegher's technical prowess but also offers insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the time. The woodcut would have been used to disseminate the artwork to a broader audience, making religious narratives more accessible to the public.

In the context of art history, Jegher's work is appreciated for its contribution to the development of the woodcut medium and its role in the proliferation of Baroque art. "The Temptation of Christ by the Devil" remains an important work for scholars studying the intersection of printmaking and painting, as well as the collaboration between artists during the period.
