Jesus Christ 1888 by Georg Karl Franz Cornicelius Cushion

Jesus Christ 1888 by Georg Karl Franz Cornicelius, Berlin, Germany. Original lost or destroyed in the WWII bombing of the Berlin National Gallery. Original was Temptation of Christ by Satan. Apparently, wrongly attributed to El Greco, Ivan Kramskoy, Rembrandt, or Karl Bryullov. Original possibly taken by Allies after WW II, but unknown location, yet prints of it survive. Psalm 23 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) Another version of this painting was done by a contemporary of Kramskoi ... the Hanau German artist Georg Cornicelius 28 Aug 1825 - 9 Dec 1898 ... in 1888 ... instead of the halo and blended background he painted Satan tempting Christ with a crown behind Christ and called the painting Christ Tempted by Satan signed G. Cornicelius in lower left corner below the elbow. I found a reference stating perhaps the original work of both these (?) was believed lost during World War II.
