"The Tribute Money" is an engraving by the Italian artist Domenico Campagnola. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Christ's instruction to pay taxes. The scene is set in a grand architectural space with columns and drapery, and features Christ at the center, gesturing towards a man holding coins. The other figures in the scene, likely tax collectors or apostles, are depicted with expressive detail. This print showcases Campagnola's skill in capturing light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and realism. This artwork is a prime example of High Renaissance style, with the artist's attention to detail and anatomical accuracy.
