"The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Francesco Il Calabrese Peresi, whose work flourished during the 17th century. This painting depicts the biblical story from the Second Book of Maccabees (2 Maccabees 3:21-28), where Heliodorus is sent by the Seleucid king Seleucus IV Philopator to seize the treasures of the Temple in Jerusalem. However, according to the narrative, he is supernaturally expelled from the temple by divine intervention, with angels chastising him for his sacrilege.

Francesco Il Calabrese Peresi, known for his dramatic use of light and shadow as well as his dynamic compositions, brings this vivid scene to life with a masterful combination of realism and spiritual intensity. The work is characterized by its powerful depiction of motion and emotion, as the figures in the painting seem to swirl around the central figure of Heliodorus, who is struck down by the heavenly beings.

The painting serves as a visual exegesis of the biblical episode, emphasizing themes of divine protection and the sanctity of religious spaces. It is a prime example of the Counter-Reformation's use of art to communicate religious messages and assert the power of faith against secular challenges.

"The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple" by Peresi is an important work within the oeuvre of the artist and the Baroque period, reflecting the era's artistic trends and religious fervor. It remains a significant piece for both its historical context and its artistic merit, offering insight into the cultural and spiritual landscape of 17th-century Italy.
