The Cleansing of the Temple

About this work

This painting shows a chaotic scene with many people in a large room with tall columns. Some are standing, others are running or falling. In the center, a man in a blue robe is holding a whip and looking angry. He seems to be chasing people away from a table with objects on it. The room has a high ceiling and big windows that let in lots of light. The people are all dressed in robes of different colors. Some are holding things like baskets or cloths. There's a lot of movement and energy in the painting. If you want to see more art like this, check out the Walters Art Museum.
