"Christ Driving the Money Changers from the Temple" is a significant work by the Italian Renaissance painter Benvenuto Tisi, better known as Garofalo. Created in the early 16th century, this painting captures a pivotal moment from the New Testament, where Jesus expels the merchants and money changers from the Temple in Jerusalem. This act, often interpreted as a denunciation of commercialism and corruption within sacred spaces, has been a popular subject in Christian art, symbolizing the moral authority of Christ and his commitment to spiritual purity.

Garofalo, born in 1481 in Ferrara, was a prominent figure in the Ferrarese school of painting. His style is characterized by a harmonious blend of the influences of Raphael and the Venetian school, particularly evident in his use of color and composition. In "Christ Driving the Money Changers from the Temple," Garofalo employs a dynamic composition to convey the chaos and intensity of the scene. The figures are arranged in a manner that directs the viewer's eye towards the central figure of Christ, who is depicted with a commanding presence, emphasizing his role as the moral arbiter.

The painting is notable for its detailed depiction of the architectural setting, which reflects the grandeur of the Temple. Garofalo's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the various elements within the scene, from the expressions of the money changers to the intricate designs of their wares. The use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect, creating a sense of depth and movement.

"Christ Driving the Money Changers from the Temple" is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration. The work not only exemplifies Garofalo's artistic skill but also serves as a powerful visual interpretation of a key biblical narrative, reflecting the religious and cultural values of the Renaissance period.
