"Jesus and the Tribute Money" is an artwork by Gustave Doré, a French artist, engraver, illustrator, and sculptor known for his prolific and detailed illustrations of literary works. Born in Strasbourg in 1832, Doré became one of the most celebrated illustrative artists of the 19th century. This particular piece depicts a scene from the Christian New Testament, where Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees and Herodians who attempt to entrap him with a question about the lawfulness of paying taxes to the Roman Emperor.

The scene, found in the synoptic Gospels (Matthew 22:15–22, Mark 12:13–17, and Luke 20:20–26), shows Jesus as he cleverly navigates the trap by asking whose likeness is on the coin used for the tax, leading to his famous response, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's." Doré's interpretation of this biblical moment captures the tension of the encounter and the wisdom of Jesus's answer, which has been interpreted as a discussion on the relationship between religion, government, and the obligations of citizens.

Doré's work on biblical scenes is characterized by his dramatic use of light and shadow, attention to detail, and ability to convey complex human emotions and divine themes. "Jesus and the Tribute Money" is no exception, showcasing Doré's skill in composition and his capacity to imbue his religious subjects with a sense of grandeur and moral gravity. The artwork is part of Doré's extensive biblical illustrations, which were widely disseminated and acclaimed in his time, contributing to the popular visual culture of biblical narratives.

As with many of Doré's biblical illustrations, "Jesus and the Tribute Money" has been reproduced in various editions of the Bible and has been influential in shaping the visual imagination of this scriptural episode for generations of readers. The piece is emblematic of Doré's artistic legacy and his impact on the visual arts, particularly in the realm of religious and literary illustration.
