"Three Temptations of Christ" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli, painted between 1481 and 1482. This work is 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 events from the lives of Moses and Christ, thereby drawing parallels between the Old Testament lawgiver and the New Testament savior.

Botticelli's "Three Temptations of Christ" illustrates the biblical narrative from the Gospel of Matthew (4:1–11) and the Gospel of Luke (4:1–13), where Jesus, 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 the spiritual encounter, showcasing Botticelli's mastery of composition and his ability to convey narrative through art.

The first temptation features the devil urging Christ to turn stones into bread to relieve his hunger, to which Jesus responds that "man shall not live by bread alone." The second temptation depicts the devil showing Jesus all the kingdoms of the world, offering them in exchange for worship, which Jesus refuses, saying, "Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only." The third and final temptation involves the devil taking Jesus to the pinnacle of the Temple in Jerusalem and challenging him to throw himself down, with the assurance that angels would protect him. Jesus rebukes the devil with the words, "Do not put the Lord your God to the test."

Botticelli's fresco is notable for its elegant figures and the use of perspective, which was a relatively new technique at the time. The artist's use of color and his ability to convey the psychological tension of the scene are also significant. The work reflects the values and aesthetics of the early Renaissance, emphasizing the human form, the use of classical motifs, and a deep engagement with religious themes.

The "Three Temptations of Christ" remains an important example of Botticelli's religious works and contributes to the rich artistic heritage of the Sistine Chapel. It is a testament to the artist's skill and the broader cultural and religious context of the Italian Renaissance.
