"The Temptation of Christ" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli, painted between 1480-1482. This work is part of a series of frescoes commissioned for the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Botticelli, along with other prominent artists of the time such as Domenico Ghirlandaio, Pietro Perugino, and Cosimo Rosselli, was invited by Pope Sixtus IV to contribute to the chapel's decoration. The frescoes were intended to depict events from the lives of Moses and Christ, symbolically linking the Old and New Testaments, and thus illustrating the continuity of the Christian message.

"The Temptation of Christ" illustrates the biblical episode from the Gospel of Matthew (4:1-11) in which Jesus, after fasting for forty days and nights in the Judaean Desert, is tempted by the Devil three times. Botticelli's interpretation of this scene is notable for its harmonious composition and the use of clear, bright colors that would have been enhanced by the natural light entering the chapel. The fresco is divided into three episodes, each representing one of the temptations. On the left, the Devil tempts Christ to turn stones into bread; in the center, he challenges Jesus to throw himself from the pinnacle of the Temple and be saved by angels; and on the right, he offers Jesus all the kingdoms of the world in exchange for worship.

Botticelli's work is characterized by its elegant figures and the fluidity of their drapery, as well as the artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey narrative and emotion. The fresco also reflects Botticelli's mastery in creating a sense of depth and perspective, a skill that was highly valued during the Renaissance. "The Temptation of Christ" is an important example of Botticelli's religious art and contributes to the overall iconographic program of the Sistine Chapel, which is one of the most significant achievements in the history of Western art.
