About the piece
Created in 1682 by Nicolas Colombel, this masterwork exemplifies the refined French classical style of the late 17th century. The composition is charged with dynamic energy as figures scramble in the foreground, contrasted against the rigid, shadowed Corinthian columns of the temple interior. Colombel's use of intense primary colors and dramatic chiaroscuro creates a powerful focal point around the figure of Christ.
