"Christ Driving the Money Changers from the Temple" is a 1556 oil on panel painting by the Dutch artist Pieter Aertsen, a painter known for his innovative approach to still life and genre scenes that often incorporate religious narratives. The painting depicts the biblical scene of Jesus expelling the merchants and money changers from the Temple in Jerusalem, an event commonly referred to as the Cleansing of the Temple and recounted in all four canonical Gospels of the New Testament.

In Aertsen's interpretation, the scene is set against a backdrop that reflects the bustling activity of a 16th-century market, a setting that would have been familiar to contemporary viewers. The artist's choice to place a religious event within a contemporary context was a significant departure from the traditional approach of depicting biblical scenes in anachronistic or idealized settings. This blending of the sacred with the everyday is characteristic of Aertsen's work and reflects the complex interplay between religion and daily life during the Renaissance period.

The painting is notable for its vivid detail and the dynamic interaction between the figures, as well as its use of perspective and light to draw the viewer's attention to the central action of Christ driving out the money changers. Aertsen's work is often praised for its skillful composition and the way it conveys moral and theological themes through the lens of ordinary human experience.

"Christ Driving the Money Changers from the Temple" is considered an important work in Pieter Aertsen's oeuvre, exemplifying his contribution to Northern Renaissance art and his influence on later artists who sought to infuse religious subjects with a sense of realism and immediacy. The painting is held in a public collection, allowing for continued study and appreciation by art historians and the general public.
