EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stunning print of "Christ driving the merchants from the temple" a magnificent Gobelins Manufactory tapestry designed by Jean Audran. Located in the Quirinal Palace, Rome, this artwork showcases the remarkable fusion of Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that Europe witnessed during the first and second millennium A. D. The photo, taken around 1900, beautifully portrays this eighteenth-century masterpiece which depicts an iconic biblical scene. In it, Christ's powerful gesture commands attention as he expels merchants from the sacred temple grounds. The composition is enriched with intricate details such as various instruments scattered on the ground and birds taking flight amidst a backdrop of pilasters and architectural elements. The tapestry evokes a range of emotions through its portrayal of fear and psychological behavior. The human psychology behind both merchant and observer is explored within this work, highlighting themes of greed versus spiritual devotion. Notably, this photograph also provides insight into historical fashion trends as it features individuals dressed in period costumes reflective of ancient times. Additionally, male figures are depicted nude to emphasize their vulnerability before Christ's divine authority. As we delve deeper into this image's rich symbolism, we cannot overlook its connection to biblical narratives found in both the Old Testament and New Testament. It serves as a poignant reminder of Jesus Christ's teachings on righteousness and justice. Overall, Anderson skillfully captures not only an extraordinary piece of art but also invites us to reflect upon our own physiological and psychological aspects when confronted with moral dilemmas. This photograph stands as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with religious iconography throughout different artistic movements across centuries.
