The Temptation in the Wilderness

The Temptation of Christ by Titian
The Temptaion by Tissot



Denying Satan by Carl Bloch

Tissot's version is my favorite but the Titian one is fascinating because the Devil is not shown as a threatening figure at all. He looks benign, reasonable, even cute. That's how the Devil always appears to us.
