"Christ Driving the Moneylenders from the Temple" is a notable painting by the Flemish artist Hendrick van Steenwyck the Younger, who was active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Van Steenwyck is renowned for his architectural interiors and meticulous attention to perspective, which are prominently featured in this work. The painting depicts the biblical scene from the New Testament where Jesus expels the moneylenders and merchants from the Temple in Jerusalem, an event that underscores his condemnation of commercial activities in a sacred space.

In "Christ Driving the Moneylenders from the Temple," van Steenwyck employs his characteristic precision in rendering architectural details, creating a grand and imposing temple interior that serves as the backdrop for the dramatic action. The composition is carefully structured to draw the viewer's eye towards the central figure of Christ, who is depicted in a dynamic pose, emphasizing his righteous anger and authority. Surrounding him are the moneylenders and merchants, portrayed in various states of alarm and confusion, their scattered coins and overturned tables adding to the sense of chaos.

Van Steenwyck's use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the scene, with light streaming in from the high windows of the temple, illuminating the central figures and casting deeper shadows in the recesses of the architecture. This interplay of light not only highlights the central action but also adds a dramatic intensity to the narrative.

The painting is a fine example of van Steenwyck's ability to blend religious themes with his expertise in architectural painting, creating a work that is both spiritually and visually compelling. It reflects the broader artistic trends of the period, where there was a strong emphasis on realism, perspective, and the dramatic use of light and shadow, influenced by the Baroque movement. "Christ Driving the Moneylenders from the Temple" remains an important piece in the study of Flemish art and religious iconography of the early 17th century.
