This etching by French artist Jean Lepautre depicts the biblical scene of Christ driving the money changers from the Temple, a pivotal moment in his ministry. The scene, set within a grand architectural space, showcases Christ's righteous anger and the chaos of the expulsion. The composition, characterized by dynamic figures and dramatic gestures, underscores the power and authority of Christ. This print, likely intended for a religious audience, served as a visual testament to Christ's teachings and his role as the rightful King of the Temple. "Christus verjaagt de geldwisselaars uit de Tempel," a work of Baroque etching, exemplifies Lepautre's mastery of the medium.
