Cristo Tentato Dal Demonio, also known as "Christ Tempted by the Devil," is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Pietro Novelli, who is often referred to by his moniker "Il Monrealese" due to his origins in Monreale, Sicily. Novelli, born in 1603 and active until his death in 1647, was a prolific painter and architect whose works are celebrated for their dramatic intensity and masterful use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs stark contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and three-dimensionality.

The painting depicts the biblical scene of Christ's temptation by the Devil, an episode recounted in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. This narrative describes how Jesus, after fasting for forty days and forty nights in the desert, is approached by Satan who attempts to lure him into sin through a series of temptations. Novelli's interpretation of this moment is both poignant and visually arresting, capturing the spiritual and psychological tension of the encounter.

In Cristo Tentato Dal Demonio, Novelli employs his characteristic dramatic lighting to highlight the figures of Christ and the Devil, creating a stark contrast that underscores the moral and spiritual dichotomy between the two. The composition is carefully balanced, with Christ depicted in a serene and composed manner, symbolizing his divine nature and steadfastness, while the Devil is rendered with a more dynamic and sinister appearance, emphasizing his role as the tempter.

The painting is a testament to Novelli's skill in conveying complex theological themes through visual art. His ability to infuse his works with emotional depth and narrative clarity has earned him a distinguished place in the canon of Baroque art. Cristo Tentato Dal Demonio remains an important example of Novelli's oeuvre, reflecting both his technical prowess and his deep engagement with religious subject matter.
