"Christ with the Tribute Money" is a Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Benvenuto Tisi, better known as Garofalo. This artwork, dating from the early 16th century, exemplifies the High Renaissance style, characterized by its balanced composition, clarity of form, and emphasis on harmony and beauty. The painting depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of Matthew (22:15-22), where the Pharisees attempt to trap Jesus with a question about the lawfulness of paying taxes to the Roman Emperor. Jesus responds by asking whose likeness is on the coin used for the tax, to which they answer "Caesar's." He then delivers the famous line, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's," deftly avoiding the trap and imparting a lesson on the separation of worldly and spiritual responsibilities.

Garofalo's interpretation of this scene is noted for its vivid portrayal of the figures and the interaction between Christ and the Pharisees. The artist's use of color and light enhances the narrative and draws the viewer into the contemplation of the moral and theological implications of the episode. The painting is a testament to Garofalo's skill in conveying complex religious subjects with elegance and clarity.

"Christ with the Tribute Money" is part of Garofalo's broader oeuvre, which includes altarpieces, devotional works, and frescoes, reflecting the religious and artistic fervor of the period. Garofalo, a native of Ferrara, was influenced by his contemporaries, such as Raphael and Titian, and his works contribute to our understanding of the artistic developments in Northern Italy during the Renaissance.

The painting is held in high regard for its art historical significance and is studied for its technical mastery as well as its insightful representation of a pivotal New Testament event. It remains an important work for scholars exploring the interplay between art, religion, and politics during the Renaissance, as well as for general audiences appreciating the enduring beauty of Garofalo's artistic legacy.
