"Jesus Driving the Merchants from the Temple" is a painting by the French artist Jean-Germain Drouais, completed in 1786. The work depicts the biblical scene of Jesus expelling the money changers and merchants from the Temple in Jerusalem, an event that is recounted in all four canonical Gospels of the New Testament. This episode is often cited as an example of Jesus' righteous indignation at the commercialization of religious practices.

Drouais, born in Paris in 1763, was a prominent history painter who studied under the influential French artist Jacques-Louis David. Drouais' painting captures the dramatic intensity of the scene, with a vigorous depiction of Jesus at the center of a chaotic skirmish. The artist's use of light, shadow, and dynamic composition serves to emphasize the moral and spiritual gravity of the moment.

The painting is a significant example of French Neoclassical painting, a style that sought to emulate the virtues of classical art and often chose subjects with moral or civic themes. "Jesus Driving the Merchants from the Temple" reflects the Neoclassical ideals of clarity, order, and harmony, despite the tumultuous nature of the scene portrayed.

Jean-Germain Drouais died young, at the age of 25, but his work left a lasting impact on French art. "Jesus Driving the Merchants from the Temple" is one of his most recognized works and is often studied for its strong narrative quality and its place within the context of the Neoclassical movement. The painting is also notable for its reflection of the social and political undercurrents of the time, as the French Revolution loomed on the horizon. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Drouais and a valuable artifact of late 18th-century French painting.
