Breng ons niet in beproeving 1569 - 1573

This 16th-century print, "Breng ons niet in beproeving," by the Flemish artist Wierix depicts a scene from the Bible, where Christ is tempted by the Devil. The print shows Christ praying in the foreground while the Devil tempts him with worldly pleasures, represented by nude women. The city in the background symbolizes the temptations of the world. The artist's detailed etching style, characteristic of Northern Renaissance art, creates a sense of depth and realism. This print is a powerful reminder of the importance of resisting temptation.
