Christ Driving the Money-changers from the Temple

About this work

This painting depicts a chaotic scene of people being driven out of a temple. In the foreground, a man with a white beard and a red robe is shown pushing a table, while others are running or being pushed away. The atmosphere is one of turmoil and energy. In the background, there are several arches and columns, which suggest that the scene is taking place in a large, open space. The colors used in the painting are muted, with shades of brown and beige dominating the palette. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and drama in the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of the man with the white beard.
