Christ in the Desert or Christ in the Wilderness[2][3] (Russian: Христос в пустыне, romanized: Khristos v pustyne) is an 1872 painting by Russian artist Ivan Kramskoi, reflecting the temptation of Christ. Kramskoi was offered a professorship for the painting by the Russian Academy of Arts Council but rejected it in the beginning of 1873. He had been expelled from the Academy.
The painting emphasizes Jesus' human constituent of hypostatic union and features a mind struggle instead of action.

Kramskoy, one of the leading figures of the Peredvizhniki (The Wanderers) movement, created this painting to explore deep spiritual and psychological themes.
