"Christ Driving the Money-changers from the Temple" is a fresco by the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This artwork is one of several frescoes created by Fra Angelico in the 1440s for the Convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy. The fresco is situated in the cloister area and forms part of a series that depicts scenes from the life of Christ.

The scene captures the biblical episode from the New Testament where Jesus expels the merchants and money changers from the Temple in Jerusalem, an event that is recounted in all four canonical Gospels (Matthew 21:12–13, Mark 11:15–17, Luke 19:45–46, and John 2:13–16). Fra Angelico's interpretation of this event is noted for its vivid portrayal of emotion and movement, as well as its use of perspective and architectural elements to frame the narrative.

In the fresco, Christ is depicted at the center of the composition, driving out the money-changers with a whip of cords as described in the Gospel of John. The figures around him show various reactions to the event, from surprise to indignation, capturing a moment of dramatic intensity. The fresco's composition reflects Fra Angelico's mastery of color and light, as well as his ability to convey spiritual messages through art.

As a Dominican friar, Fra Angelico's work is deeply imbued with religious significance, and this fresco is no exception. It serves as a moral and didactic illustration for the monks of San Marco, reminding them of the importance of piety and the dangers of materialism.

"Christ Driving the Money-changers from the Temple" is considered an important work in Fra Angelico's oeuvre and in the broader context of Renaissance art. It showcases the transition from the Gothic style to the Renaissance emphasis on realism, human emotion, and spatial depth. The fresco remains in situ at the Convent of San Marco, now a museum, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and spiritual value.
