224. THE TRIBUTE MONEY.

_School of Titian. See under_ 4.

The Pharisee, hoping to entrap Jesus into sedition, asks him whether

it is lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar. "Show me _the tribute money_"

is the answer. "Whose is this image and superscription?... Render unto

Cæsar the things that are Cæsar's, and unto God the things that are

God's." Titian's great picture of this subject (painted about 1514) is

at Dresden.
