About this work

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