Christ in the Temple c. 1576 - 1580

"Christ in the Temple" is an engraving created by Léonard Gaultier in the late 16th century. The artwork depicts the moment when Jesus is being confronted by the religious leaders in the Temple. Gaultier's engraving uses a series of strong lines to capture the drama and tension of the scene. The figures of Jesus and the Temple leaders are prominent, while the surrounding figures add to the sense of chaos. This work is a significant example of Gaultier's skill in portraying biblical subjects, and is a powerful representation of the conflict between Christ and the religious authorities.
