The Finding of Jesus in the Temple by William Holman Hunt contrasts the light of Christ with the darkness of ritual without faith. The temple's interior is a visual feast, with each golden column adorned uniquely; beautiful wooden tracery conceals the area, and the ceiling forms a pattern of jewel-like glass. A gathering of scribes and Pharisees sits in dark opulence to the left. An elderly blind priest clutches Torah scrolls, maybe representing those who were unable to see that the Messiah was among them. In the background, people file into the temple bearing gifts, but the elders remain huddled in their luxurious surroundings, a sharp contrast to the disheveled beggar sitting outside.
