Christ chases the money changers out of the temple, Pieter Bruegel the Elder
Avarice and greed are the central themes of Christ chasing the money changers out of the temple: after all, the biblical fragment tells us that Jesus chased the merchants and money changers out of the house of God because their longing for money turned the place into a trading place. The composition on which the four versions of Christ in the temple are based is very similar to Bosch's style, so much so that it could have been created in Bosch's studio shortly after his death.
