About the piece
Painted in 1602, this oil on panel work by Maerten de Vos depicts the biblical episode of the 'Tribute Money.' The scene is filled with a dynamic crowd, from the intricately rendered Roman armor of the foreground soldiers to the soft expressions of mothers and children in the background, all set against the architectural backdrop of an idealized city square.
