Christ Cleansing the Temple

El Greco

probably before 1570

Christ Driving the Money Changers from the Temple is a painting by El Greco, from 1568, now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., in the United States. It depicts the cleansing of the Temple, an event in the life of Christ.

There exist three other copies of the painting and also a faithful reproduction in the National Gallery in London, which has recently been considered as authentic by scholars in the field of visual arts. Two versions and another on loan from Madrid are titled Purification of the Temple.
