"The Temptation of Christ" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli, painted between 1480-1482. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes commissioned for the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. It depicts three episodes of the temptation of Christ by Satan, as described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, during Christ's 40-day fast in the desert.

The fresco is situated on the upper register of the chapel's north wall and measures approximately 345 cm x 555 cm. Botticelli's work is notable for its narrative clarity and the elegance of the figures, which reflect the artist's mastery of line and form. The composition is divided into three scenes that unfold from left to right, each illustrating a specific moment of temptation: the devil, disguised as a hermit, suggests that Jesus turn stones into bread; he then takes Jesus to a pinnacle of the temple and urges him to throw himself down; and finally, he shows Jesus all the kingdoms of the world, offering them in exchange for worship.

Botticelli's interpretation of these biblical events is imbued with symbolic elements and reflects the theological and artistic concerns of his time. The fresco is admired for its rhythmic use of landscape, the psychological interaction between Christ and the devil, and its overall spiritual expressiveness. "The Temptation of Christ" is considered an important work in Botticelli's oeuvre and a significant contribution to the iconography of the Sistine Chapel, which includes works by other Renaissance masters such as Michelangelo and Perugino.

The fresco has been the subject of extensive art historical analysis and is often discussed in the context of Botticelli's other religious works. It remains a valuable example of the artist's religious narrative paintings and continues to attract scholarly attention for its artistic and historical significance within the Renaissance period.
