"Three Temptations of Christ" is a fresco detail 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 the lives of Moses and Christ as parallel narratives, illustrating the continuity between the Old Testament and the New Testament, and reinforcing the authority of the Papacy.

The "Three Temptations of Christ" specifically illustrates the biblical episode from the Gospel of Matthew (4:1–11) and the Gospel of Luke (4:1–13), in which Jesus Christ, after fasting for forty days and nights in the Judaean Desert, is tempted by the devil three times. Botticelli's representation is rich in symbolism and reflects the theological and artistic concerns of the time.

In the fresco, Christ is shown resisting each of the devil's temptations: to turn stones into bread, to throw himself from the pinnacle of the temple and be saved by angels, and to worship the devil in exchange for all the kingdoms of the world. The devil is depicted in various guises, including as a hermit and a high priest, which may reflect contemporary views on the insidious nature of temptation.

Botticelli's work is celebrated for its elegance, expressive figures, and the clarity of its narrative. His use of color and mastery of line contribute to the harmonious composition of the scene, which stands as a testament to the artist's skill and the religious fervor of the period. The fresco is an important example of Botticelli's religious art and provides insight into the spiritual and artistic climate of the Italian Renaissance at the height of its cultural influence.

The "Three Temptations of Christ" remains an enduring piece of Botticelli's oeuvre, housed in one of the most significant religious and cultural landmarks in the world. It continues to attract scholarly attention and admiration from visitors, contributing to the enduring legacy of Sandro Botticelli as one of the most important artists of the Renaissance.
