The Tribute Money (Titian)

The Tribute Money (Italian: Cristo della moneta - literally Christ of the coin) is a circa 1516 oil painting by Titian, now held at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden. It is signed "Ticianus F.[ecit]", painted on the trim of the Pharisee's collar. It depicts Christ and a Pharisee at the moment in the Gospels (Matthew 22:15-22, Mark 12:13-17, Luke 20:20-26) when Christ is shown a coin and says "Render unto Caesar..."^[3] Giorgio Vasari thought the head of Christ the 'most stupendous and miraculous' thing painted by Titian and that all artists at the time believed it to be an insuperable achievement.
