DescriptionChrist, at center of image, swings a whip of cords over his head, aiming for the moneychangers in front of him. People are in the act of fleeing his wrath; tables are overturned while animals escape in fright. The high priests of the temple can be seen in the far right background, looking down upon the chaoctic scene.
