EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and dramatic scene of "Christ Driving the Moneychangers from the Temple" painted by Theodore van Baburen in 1621. The oil on canvas artwork, measuring 161x199.5 cm, showcases a powerful moment in biblical history. In this masterpiece, Christ is depicted standing amidst a bustling crowd of money lenders and traders within the temple walls. With arms raised and hand gestures full of authority, he forcefully drives out those who have turned his father's house into a marketplace. The artist skillfully portrays Christ's anger and determination to restore sanctity to this sacred space. The painting beautifully showcases Dutch art from the early seventeenth century with its attention to detail and mastery of light and shadow. The outdoor setting adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the significance of this event taking place in broad daylight. Baburen's work highlights not only religious themes but also social commentary on abuse and corruption within society. This old master painting invites viewers to reflect on their own behavior, challenging them to question their values and actions. With its rich historical context, vibrant colors, and expressive figures, this artwork serves as a testament to Baburen's talent as an artist. It continues to captivate audiences today with its timeless message about righteousness prevailing over greed. (Photo: eChristies Images; Dutch)
