Interieur van een kerk met Christus die geestelijken verjaagd 1606 - 1620

Hendrick Hondius I's etching, "Interieur van een kerk met Christus die geestelijken verjaagd" (Interior of a Church with Christ Driving Out the Money Changers), depicts a dramatic scene from the New Testament. The artwork is a detailed depiction of the interior of a church, showcasing a bustling scene. Christ, visible at the end of the long aisle, is depicted expelling money-changers from the temple, with people fleeing in terror. The intricate details of the church's architecture, including arches, columns, and stained glass windows, contribute to the sense of grandeur and drama of the scene. This etching, produced between 1606 and 1620, is a remarkable example of Hondius I's skill in rendering both architectural detail and the emotional intensity of a biblical narrative.
