Art / Jesus drives Satan from his toy room

A couple of weeks ago, Mara and Jonathan and I went to the Frick, where we saw this painting by Duccio. It’s called “The Temptation of Christ on the Mountain,” but I vastly prefer Jonthan’s title (hint: it’s the subject of this post). Incidentally, how great is the Frick? Ghostly Whistlers, multiple Vermeers, “St. Francis in the Desert,” an excellent sculpture of a dead bird (was it a bird?). One might say: Frickin awesome.
