EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Temptation of Christ" painted by Juan de Flandes, the Elder in the early 16th century. The artwork, displayed in a renowned art gallery, depicts a significant moment from Christian history - the temptation faced by Jesus Christ. In this vibrant oil painting on panel, we see Jesus standing resolute amidst a barren landscape. Dressed in traditional Spanish clothing, his colorful attire contrasts with the dark and menacing figure beside him. This devilish character, portrayed with horns and gesturing temptingly towards Jesus, represents Satan himself. Juan de Flandes masterfully captures the intensity of this spiritual test through his meticulous brushwork and attention to detail. The viewer is drawn into the scene as they witness Jesus' unwavering faith being challenged by evil forces. Notably, Juan de Flandes infuses religious symbolism throughout the composition. In Jesus' hand rests a rosary beads - an emblematic tool for prayer and devotion in Christianity. This subtle inclusion reminds us of Christ's divine nature and his reliance on spirituality during times of trial. "The Temptation of Christ" serves as both a testament to Juan de Flandes' artistic prowess within Netherlandish Renaissance art and as a powerful visual representation of one's ability to resist temptation even when faced with adversity. As viewers engage with this timeless masterpiece at the National Gallery of Art Washington or any other art center fortunate enough to house it, they are transported back to an era where faith was
