Jesus Tempted 

Danish painter Carl Bloch (1834-1890) was a master of historical and religious paintings. This painting, "Jesus Tempted", depicts the biblical story of Jesus Christ's temptation by Satan in the wilderness. Jesus, clothed in white and red, stands above Satan, who is wrapped in flowing red fabric and struggles against the divine presence. The scene evokes a sense of drama and conflict, while emphasizing Jesus' triumph over temptation. Bloch's detailed rendering and use of light and shadow enhance the spiritual and narrative qualities of this powerful composition.
