"Three Temptations of Christ" (detail 1) is a renowned fresco painted by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli between 1481 and 1482. This work forms part of a series of frescoes created by Botticelli and other prominent artists of the time for the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, under the commission of Pope Sixtus IV. The frescoes were intended to depict scenes from the lives of Moses and Christ, symbolizing the continuity between the Old Testament and the New Testament, and thereby, the continuity between the Jewish and Christian faiths.

Botticelli's contribution to this ambitious project, "Three Temptations of Christ," illustrates the biblical narrative from the Gospel of Matthew (4:1-11) and Luke (4:1-13), where Christ, after fasting for forty days and nights in the Judaean Desert, is tempted by the devil three times. The fresco captures the dramatic intensity of these moments with a keen attention to emotional and spiritual conflict. Botticelli's mastery in the use of line and form, as well as his ability to convey narrative and symbolic depth, is evident in this work. The composition is divided into three main scenes that unfold the sequential temptations: the devil tempting Christ to turn stones into bread, to throw himself from the pinnacle of the temple, and to worship the devil in exchange for the kingdoms of the world.

The fresco is celebrated for its dynamic composition and the way Botticelli has integrated the three episodes into a coherent narrative flow. The figures are rendered with a grace and elegance that are characteristic of Botticelli's style, while the landscape and architectural elements provide a vivid backdrop that enhances the storytelling. Through his use of perspective and his careful arrangement of figures, Botticelli guides the viewer's eye across the fresco, allowing them to engage deeply with the spiritual and moral lessons of the biblical story.

"Three Temptations of Christ" is not only a testament to Botticelli's artistic genius but also reflects the broader cultural and religious context of the Renaissance period. It embodies the humanist interest in biblical themes and the emphasis on moral and ethical contemplation. Today, the fresco remains an important part of the artistic heritage of the Sistine Chapel, attracting scholars and visitors alike who seek to admire its beauty and delve into its deeper meanings.
