About this work

The Temptation of Christ in the wilderness. The devil, in the guise of a horned man, asks him to turn the stones he holds into bread. In the background are the other two temptations: Christ and the devil on the temple roof, where the latter urges Christ to jump down to prove who he is, and on the right, the devil and Christ on a mountain peak where the devil shows him all the kingdoms of the world and asks him to bow down. Print forms part of a book.
