"Christ Driving the Money Changers from the Temple" is a renowned painting by the Italian artist Luca Giordano, created during the Baroque period, which is characterized by its dramatic use of color, light, and dynamic movement. The artwork depicts the biblical scene from the New Testament where Jesus expels merchants and money changers from the Temple in Jerusalem, an event that is recounted in all four canonical Gospels (Matthew 21:12–13, Mark 11:15–17, Luke 19:45–46, and John 2:13–16).

Giordano, born in 1634 in Naples, was a prolific painter whose work was heavily influenced by the dramatic realism of Caravaggio and the vibrant colors and dynamic compositions of Peter Paul Rubens. Known for his speed in painting, which earned him the nickname "Luca fa presto" (Luca works quickly), Giordano's "Christ Driving the Money Changers from the Temple" is a prime example of his masterful handling of both the human form and the depiction of intense emotion.

In this painting, Giordano captures the righteous indignation of Christ as he overturns tables and drives out those who have turned a place of worship into a den of commerce. The composition is bustling with activity, and the figures are rendered with a sense of urgency and movement that conveys the chaos of the scene. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, heightens the dramatic effect and focuses the viewer's attention on the central figure of Christ.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its thematic exploration of corruption, piety, and the sanctity of religious spaces. It reflects the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on direct, emotionally engaging religious imagery designed to inspire piety and devotion in the viewer.

"Christ Driving the Money Changers from the Temple" by Luca Giordano is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important work within the artist's oeuvre and the Baroque period. The painting can be found in various collections, and its specific location may vary as it could be on display in museums or held in private collections. The exact dimensions and the date of creation may also be specified in more detailed descriptions of the work, providing further insight into its historical and artistic context.
