The Tribute Money
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by the Baroque artist Bernardo Strozzi, dating back to the 17th century. This masterpiece, currently housed at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, depicts a scene from the New Testament's Gospel of Matthew (17:24-27). In the painting, we find Jesus Christ and two of his disciples, Peter and James, accompanied by a man, believed to be the tax collector, Antipas or Antiphases, and two Pharisees. The Pharisees, representatives of Jewish religious authority, demand that Jesus pays the temple tax, a fee levied on all Jews, including their Roman overlords. Jesus, in response, tests their faith by asking them to bring him a coin for the tax. One of the disciples, Peter, fishes a coin from the mouth of a fish, providing the means for Jesus to pay the tax. The painting is a rich and colorful representation of the scene, with Christ at the center, surrounded by the figures of Peter, James, Antipas, and the Pharisees. The abundance and affluence of the scene are contrasted with the spiritual authority and faith of Jesus and his disciples. The use of light and shadow, typical of the Baroque era, adds depth and drama to the painting, making it a must-see for anyone interested in art, religion, or history. The painting's historic significance, as well as its cultural and artistic value, make it a prized possession of the Nationalmuseum, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Italy and the enduring influence of the Baroque period.
