De verdrijving van de wisselaars uit de tempel c. 1572 - 1576

"De verdrijving van de wisselaars uit de tempel" (The Expulsion of the Money Changers from the Temple), a 16th-century engraving by Philips Galle, depicts a dramatic scene from the Bible. Jesus, with a whip in his hand, drives out merchants from the Temple, overturning their tables and scattering their money. The scene is filled with movement and energy, capturing the moment of chaos and disruption. Galle’s print, like many of his works, reflects the prevailing religious fervor of the Reformation, illustrating a moral message through a powerful image. This etching, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artistry of this prominent Flemish engraver.
