Then about a hundred and fifty years ago the painting was then transformed into two parts which include the top where there is a christalogical paintings on the top and parts of hunting on the bottom. The figures on this painting who are clearly outlined are have radiant colours making sure the story is easily understanable. In this painting the devil is trying tempt Jesus to turn stones into bread and Jesus is denying it. Opinion: I think this painting is a good example of how smart Jesus was as it creates a story in your head when looking at it.
