The Cleansing of the Temple - Biblical Engraving by A. Gabet #132186 (License: Personal Use)

This intricate black-and-white engraving by A. Gabet portrays the biblical episode of Jesus cleansing the Temple, where he overturns tables and drives out merchants. The composition emphasizes contrast: Christ’s serene composure against the chaos of fleeing figures, raised arms, and scattered coins, all rendered with precise cross-hatching and dramatic chiaroscuro. The architectural setting evokes Second Temple Jerusalem, with wooden beams and stone columns framing the divine intervention.
