"Christ Driving the Traders from the Temple" (1570) is a seminal work by the renowned Greek-born artist Domenikos Theotokopoulos, widely known as El Greco. This painting, created early in El Greco's career, marks a significant moment in his artistic development, showcasing his transition from the Byzantine traditions of his homeland to the more dynamic and expressive style that would come to define his mature work. The painting depicts the biblical episode from the New Testament in which Jesus expels the merchants and money changers from the Temple in Jerusalem, a scene that has been a popular subject among artists for centuries. However, El Greco's interpretation is distinguished by its dramatic intensity, emotional depth, and the unique blend of post-Byzantine and Renaissance influences that characterize his approach to religious subjects.

Measuring 117 cm × 150 cm, the painting is currently housed in the National Gallery in London. El Greco's rendition of this biblical event is notable for its vivid portrayal of human emotion and the dramatic use of light and color, which would become hallmarks of his later work. The composition is dynamic, with figures arranged in a manner that leads the viewer's eye across the canvas, capturing the chaos and intensity of the moment. El Greco's use of elongated figures and unconventional spatial perspectives reflects his departure from the naturalism that dominated Renaissance art, moving towards a more expressionistic style that emphasizes the spiritual and emotional dimensions of the scene.

"Christ Driving the Traders from the Temple" not only exemplifies El Greco's early experimentation with form and color but also serves as a critical link between his initial training in the Byzantine tradition and his subsequent development as a leading figure of the Spanish Renaissance. This painting, with its blend of Eastern and Western artistic principles, underscores El Greco's pivotal role in the history of European art, bridging the gap between the Renaissance and the Baroque periods. Through this work, El Greco invites viewers to reflect on the deeper spiritual message of the biblical story, highlighting themes of purity, devotion, and the sacred nature of worship spaces.
