Note du spécialiste

This version of Titian's The Tribute Money is in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden. The painting's subject is taken from the New Testament, when the Pharisees ask Christ whether he thinks it is right to pay tax to the Romans. Christ realizes he is being tricked and replies eness and name are on the coinage.
