Christ in the Wilderness. Artist: Moretto da Brescia (Alessandro Bonvicino) (Italian, Brescia ca. 1498-1554 Brescia). Dimensions: 18 x 21 3/4 in. (45.7 x 55.2 cm). Date: ca. 1515-20. Following his baptism by John the Baptist, Christ retired to the wilderness for forty days: "And he was there . . . forty days, tested by Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him" (Mark 1:13). This picture, an early work by Moretto from about 1515, is a fragment of a larger canvas that must have continued past the sketchy cherubim at the left and showed other events from Christ's life
