Verdrijving van de wisselaars uit de tempel before 1732

Gabriel Huquier's etching "Verdrijving van de wisselaars uit de tempel" (c. 1732), housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the biblical story of Jesus clearing the Temple of merchants. The dynamic composition showcases Jesus, surrounded by a flurry of figures, as he drives out the money changers and animal sellers. Huquier's use of line and shading creates a powerful scene that highlights the dramatic moment, highlighting the fervent energy of the event. This print, capturing a pivotal moment in Christian history, is a testament to Huquier's mastery of etching and his ability to translate a religious narrative into a visually compelling artwork.
