Painting by J. M. W. Turner
Christ Driving the Traders from the Temple religious history painting by the British artist J.M.W. Turner . It depicts a scene from the biblical story of Jesus Christ expelling the merchants and moneylenders hawking for business in the Temple of Jerusalem . Turner drew heavily on the architecture of St. Peter's in Rome which he has first sketched on his 1819 visit to Italy. [ 1]
It is likely the painting was produced as a companion piece to Turner's Shadrach, Meshech and Abednego , both drawn from the New Testament . While the later was submitted to the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1832 at Somerset House , this work although virtually complete remained unfinished and was not displayed.[ 2] Turner Bequest of 1856 and is today in the collection of the Tate Britain in London .[ 3]
