The feeling of temptation is an emotion most people have felt in their lives. Temptation has been illustrated in Christian religion since the beginning with Adam and Eve. Portraying the emotion of temptation has varied from artist to artist, in all; the viewer will continuously understand the awareness of the feeling.
