"Expulsion of Joachim from the Temple" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Domenico Ghirlandaio, completed around 1486-1490. The artwork is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Tornabuoni Chapel in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. The chapel's fresco cycle depicts scenes from the lives of the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist, which were patronized by the influential Tornabuoni family.

The "Expulsion of Joachim from the Temple" is located on the upper register of the chapel's left wall and illustrates a narrative from the apocryphal Protoevangelium of James. In this scene, Joachim, the father of the Virgin Mary, is shown being rebuffed by the High Priest of the Temple in Jerusalem. The rejection is due to Joachim's childlessness, which was viewed as a sign of divine disfavor at the time. The fresco captures the moment of Joachim's humiliation and his subsequent departure from the Temple, a poignant episode that precedes the miraculous conception of the Virgin Mary.

Ghirlandaio's composition is notable for its architectural perspective and the vivid portrayal of the characters involved. The fresco is imbued with the humanist spirit of the Renaissance, showcasing Ghirlandaio's skill in rendering emotional depth and narrative clarity. The figures are depicted with a sense of dignity and grace, characteristic of Ghirlandaio's style, and the fresco is rich with contemporary Florentine details, which provide insight into the society and culture of the time.

The "Expulsion of Joachim from the Temple" is considered an important work within Ghirlandaio's oeuvre and the broader context of Quattrocento Florentine art. It reflects the artist's mastery of fresco technique and his ability to weave complex theological themes into accessible and compelling visual stories. The fresco, along with the entire Tornabuoni Chapel cycle, is recognized as a masterpiece of Renaissance art and continues to be a subject of study for its artistic and historical significance.
