EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 15th-century miniature painting, titled "Jesus Expels the Merchants from the Temple," is a masterpiece from the Codex of Predis, a precious manuscript created in Turin, Italy, in 1476. The illustration, found in the Royal Library of Turin, is an exquisite representation of a pivotal moment in Christian history. In the image, we see Jesus, the central figure, clad in a flowing robe, standing in the Temple, surrounded by a crowd of astonished onlookers. With a whip in hand, he fiercely drives out the merchants and money changers, who are depicted scrambling to collect their wares and flee the scene. The chaos is palpable, with animals, including sheep, adding to the commotion. This powerful scene is taken from the New Testament of the Bible, specifically from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It symbolizes Jesus' righteous anger towards those who had turned the Temple, a place of worship and prayer, into a marketplace. The event is considered a significant demonstration of Jesus' authority and his unwavering commitment to upholding the spiritual values of the Temple. The Codex of Predis, also known as the "Codice Cristoforo de' Predis," is a beautiful example of Italian Renaissance art. The manuscript is renowned for its intricate illustrations, which were created using tempera on parchment. This particular miniature, with its vivid colors, dynamic composition, and meticulous details, showcases the exceptional artistic skill of the period.
