"Christ Purging the Temple" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Giotto di Bondone, painted between 1304 and 1306 as part of the Scrovegni Chapel (Cappella degli Scrovegni) in Padua, Veneto, Italy. This work is one of a cycle of frescoes that narrate scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary and the life of Christ. Giotto's frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel are considered one of his masterpieces and a seminal work of the early Renaissance.

The fresco depicts the biblical episode from the Gospels known as the Cleansing of the Temple, where Jesus expels the merchants and money changers from the sacred precincts of the Jerusalem Temple. Giotto's interpretation of this event is notable for its dynamic composition, emotional intensity, and the innovative use of space and perspective that would come to characterize Renaissance art.

In "Christ Purging the Temple," Giotto captures the moment with dramatic flair, emphasizing Christ's righteous anger and the chaos of the fleeing vendors. The figures are rendered with weight and volume, a departure from the stylized and flat representations typical of earlier medieval art. Giotto's use of chiaroscuro, the treatment of light and shadow, adds a three-dimensional quality to the figures and contributes to the sense of an unfolding narrative.

The fresco is also significant for its architectural elements, which demonstrate Giotto's understanding of perspective, a technique that was revolutionary at the time. The architectural setting provides a stage for the action and contributes to the viewer's sense of being a witness to the event.

As part of the Scrovegni Chapel frescoes, "Christ Purging the Temple" has been the subject of extensive art historical study and conservation efforts. The entire chapel was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986, ensuring the preservation and recognition of Giotto's work for its outstanding universal value. The fresco remains a key example of Giotto's contribution to the development of Western art and his influence on subsequent generations of artists.
