EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of "Christ expelling the moneychangers from the temple" in a remarkable engraving by Albrecht Altdorfer, dating back to around 1519. Measuring only 6.3x4.3 cm, this miniature masterpiece is housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge in the UK. In this powerful scene from the New Testament, Jesus can be seen wielding a whip as he forcefully drives out the moneychangers and lenders from the sacred temple grounds. The artist's attention to detail and skillful use of engraving techniques bring forth an incredible sense of movement and emotion. The image serves as a reminder of Christ's righteous anger towards those who exploited religion for personal gain. It symbolizes his unwavering commitment to purity and justice within spiritual spaces. Altdorfer's work is emblematic of Renaissance art with its meticulous composition and profound religious themes. Through this print, viewers are transported back in time to witness one of Jesus' most iconic acts during his ministry on Earth. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are reminded that even centuries later, its message remains relevant – urging us all to reflect on our own actions and motivations when it comes to matters both materialistic and spiritual.
