No. 27, "Scenes from the Life of Christ: 11. Expulsion of the Money-changers from the Temple" is a fresco by the Italian master Giotto di Bondone, painted around 1304-1306 as part of a larger cycle decorating the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy. This work is one of the 38 panels depicting various biblical scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary and Christ. Giotto's frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel are considered one of the masterpieces of Western art and a seminal work of the early Renaissance, marking a significant departure from the Byzantine style prevalent in Italian painting up to that point.

The "Expulsion of the Money-changers from the Temple" illustrates the Gospel episode where Jesus drives out merchants and money changers from the sacred precincts of the Jerusalem Temple, an act symbolizing the purification of religious practice from materialistic corruption. Giotto's interpretation of this scene is notable for its dramatic vitality and the use of space to convey the narrative. The fresco showcases Giotto's innovative approach to composition, characterized by a more naturalistic representation of figures and space, which would greatly influence the development of Italian Renaissance painting.

In the fresco, Christ is depicted with a whip in hand, actively driving out the money-changers, whose overturned tables and scattered coins add to the sense of chaos and movement. The expressions of the figures reflect the tumultuous event, with the money-changers displaying various reactions of shock, fear, and indignation. The architectural elements within the painting provide a sense of depth and perspective, a technique that was groundbreaking at the time.

Giotto's frescoes, including the "Expulsion of the Money-changers from the Temple," are celebrated for their emotional expressiveness and the humanization of sacred characters, which brought a new level of realism to the depiction of biblical stories. The fresco is a key example of Giotto's artistry and his ability to convey complex narratives through composition, gesture, and expression. It remains a significant cultural and historical artifact, reflecting the religious, artistic, and social contexts of 14th-century Italy.
