Our Saviour after the Temptation - painted by Sir George Hayter, M. A. S. L., 1850. Creator: Unknown.

Our Saviour after the Temptation - painted by Sir George Hayter, M. A. S. L., 1850. Exhibition at the British Institution. 'This miracle must be considered the first great triumph of Jesus Christ on earth; and therefore, although the extreme exhaustion from having fasted forty days rendered the ministering of angels necessary when his human strength was nearly annihilated, still the moment must have been one of intense joy to the heavenly host; and has, therefore, been treated in the colouring so as to avoid any sad or melancholy impression on the spectator, by appropriating such colours for the wings and garments of the angels as were frequently given by the early painters of holy subjects....In the principal figure, the painter has attempted to portray divine resignation and exhaustion, free from the more acute bodily suffering under which the Saviour Is generally represented'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
