"Cacciata dei Mercanti dal Tempio" (Expulsion of the Merchants from the Temple) is a renowned painting by the Italian Baroque artist Luca Giordano, created in the 17th century. This artwork depicts the biblical scene of Jesus expelling the money changers and merchants from the Temple of Jerusalem, an event that is recounted in all four canonical Gospels of the New Testament. Giordano's interpretation of this dramatic moment is characterized by his vigorous brushwork and dynamic composition, hallmarks of the Baroque style that sought to evoke emotion and movement.

Luca Giordano, born in 1634 in Naples, was a prolific painter whose work spanned religious, mythological, and historical subjects. He was known for his speed of execution, which earned him the nickname "Luca fa presto" (Luca works quickly). His style was influenced by the great masters of the Baroque such as Caravaggio, Ribera, and Pietro da Cortona, and he became one of the leading Italian painters of his time, with a career that took him from Italy to Spain, where he worked for the Spanish court.

The "Cacciata dei Mercanti dal Tempio" is a testament to Giordano's ability to convey a narrative with energy and tension. The composition is typically Baroque, with a diagonal orientation that guides the viewer's eye across the canvas, capturing the chaos and commotion of the scene. The figures are rendered with a sense of immediacy, their expressions and gestures amplifying the drama of the moment. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, further enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and the overall theatricality of the scene.

This painting not only exemplifies Giordano's artistic prowess but also serves as a reflection of the religious and cultural values of the time, illustrating a moment of moral correction and divine authority. The "Cacciata dei Mercanti dal Tempio" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Luca Giordano and a significant piece within the Baroque period, offering insight into the era's artistic trends and religious fervor.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance, and it continues to be studied by art historians and enthusiasts alike. It is housed in a collection or museum that preserves and displays Giordano's work, contributing to the ongoing appreciation and understanding of Baroque art.
