"The Temptation" is a fresco painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Tommaso Masolino da Panicale, commonly known as Masolino. Created around 1425, this work is part of a larger decorative scheme in the Brancacci Chapel of the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, Italy. The frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel are renowned for their pivotal role in the development of Renaissance art, blending Gothic traditions with emerging Renaissance ideals.

Masolino's "The Temptation" depicts the biblical story of Adam and Eve's temptation by the serpent in the Garden of Eden, a narrative drawn from the Book of Genesis. The fresco captures the moment when Eve, having been persuaded by the serpent, offers the forbidden fruit to Adam. The composition is notable for its delicate rendering of the human figures and the naturalistic treatment of the surrounding environment, reflecting Masolino's mastery of form and his ability to convey a sense of three-dimensional space on a flat surface.

The fresco is characterized by its soft, harmonious color palette and the graceful, almost ethereal quality of the figures. Masolino's style in this work contrasts with the more robust and dynamic approach of his contemporary and collaborator, Masaccio, whose frescoes also adorn the Brancacci Chapel. Together, their works represent a significant artistic dialogue and a transition from the International Gothic style to the early Renaissance.

"The Temptation" is an essential piece in the study of early Renaissance art, exemplifying the period's evolving techniques in perspective, anatomy, and the use of light and shadow. It remains a key attraction for art historians and visitors to the Brancacci Chapel, offering insight into the religious and artistic milieu of 15th-century Florence.
