Christ driving the traders from the temple
by El Greco
Greek-Spanish artist El Greco painted this scene of Christ expelling the moneychangers with characteristic elongated figures and intense color. The composition swirls with energy as Christ confronts the merchants defiling the temple.
El Greco painted this subject multiple times, each version showing his evolving style. His visionary approach transformed traditional subjects. It hangs at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
