1688 Biblical Devil Evil Good Gospel Jesus Matthew Satan Tempt Temptation Tempting Testament Wilderness
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 17th-century print depicts a pivotal moment in the New Testament's Gospel of Matthew (4:1-11), as Jesus is tempted by the devil in the wilderness. The image, created around 1688, captures the intensity and drama of the scene, with Satan, depicted as a menacing figure, extending a hand adorned with a five-pointed star, symbolizing his evil nature. Jesus, with a determined gaze and an unwavering posture, stands firm against the temptation, his right hand raised in defiance. The wilderness, a desolate and barren landscape, serves as a stark backdrop to the spiritual battle unfolding before us. This powerful visual representation of the Temptation of Jesus in the Wilderness not only highlights the strength and resolve of Jesus but also underscores the eternal struggle between good and evil. The intricate details of the print, from the textured rocks and gnarled trees to the richly embellished robes of Jesus and the devil, transport us back to a time when art was used to explore the depths of the human condition and the divine. This print, a testament to the enduring power of religious art, continues to inspire and captivate viewers, reminding us of the timeless lessons contained within the pages of the Bible.
