A scene extracted from the Bible: Matthew 21:12-13, carefully adapted into an illustration. The heart of the image is a central figure displaying a powerful yet peaceful air, symbolic of a revered spiritual leader, in an ordinary temple setting. This central figure is driving out various individuals who were dedicated to buying and selling. Chaos ensues as he tips over tables where currencies are exchanged and dislodges seats of bird merchants. His words echo across the temple, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers.' The image draws inspiration from pre-1912 traditional art, specifically the emotive and dramatic qualities of the Baroque art period. Rendered with digital technology.
