Vertreibung der Wechsler aus dem Tempel

Christ driving the Traders from the Temple

Angry to find that the Temple of Jerusalem had become a marketplace, Jesus drove out the moneychangers and dove-sellers (Matthew 21: 12-13). This scene of purification took on great significance as the Catholic Church undertook reform in the 16th century. The drama and subtle colouring of the work are typical of Cavallino.
