"The Temptation of Christ" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli, painted between 1480-1482. It is one of the seven scenes that Botticelli contributed to the decoration of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV. The fresco illustrates the biblical episode of the temptation of Christ by Satan, as described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

Botticelli's work is part of a larger series of frescoes that depict the Life of Moses and the Life of Christ, intended to draw parallels between the Old Testament lawgiver and the New Testament savior. "The Temptation of Christ" specifically shows three distinct episodes of temptation that Jesus faced during his 40 days and nights in the Judaean Desert. On the left, the Devil, disguised as a hermit, tempts Christ to turn stones into bread. In the center, Satan tempts Jesus to throw himself from the pinnacle of the Temple and be saved by angels. On the right, the Devil offers Jesus all the kingdoms of the world in exchange for his worship.

Botticelli's composition is noted for its elegance and rhythm, characteristics typical of his style. The figures are elongated, and their postures and gestures are expressive of the spiritual struggle depicted. The landscape plays a significant role in the narrative, with its rocky terrain and sparse vegetation emphasizing the harshness of the desert and the gravity of Christ's ordeal.

The fresco is also significant for its historical context, as it was part of the first major artistic commission in the Sistine Chapel and reflects the early stages of the chapel's artistic decoration, which would later include works by Michelangelo and other Renaissance masters. Botticelli's contribution to the Sistine Chapel frescoes is considered one of his most important works and showcases his mastery of large-scale religious narrative painting.

"The Temptation of Christ" by Botticelli remains a valuable example of Quattrocento art and provides insight into the religious and artistic sensibilities of the time. Its presence in the Sistine Chapel ensures that it continues to be admired by visitors and scholars alike, contributing to the enduring legacy of Botticelli's artistic achievements.
