"Le Repas Chez Simon" is a notable painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Artus Wolffort, also known as Artus Wolffaerts. Born in Antwerp in 1581, Wolffort was a prominent figure in the early 17th century, known for his religious and historical compositions. He was a pupil of Otto van Veen, who was also the teacher of the renowned Peter Paul Rubens. Wolffort's works are characterized by their dramatic use of light and shadow, dynamic compositions, and detailed rendering of figures, all of which are hallmarks of the Baroque style.

"Le Repas Chez Simon" depicts the biblical scene of Jesus dining at the house of Simon the Pharisee, as described in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 7:36-50). This episode is significant for its moral and theological implications, as it narrates the story of a sinful woman who anoints Jesus' feet with her tears and perfume, an act of repentance and devotion. The painting captures the moment of this poignant interaction, emphasizing the themes of forgiveness, humility, and divine grace.

Wolffort's composition is meticulously arranged to draw the viewer's eye towards the central figures of Jesus and the woman, highlighting their emotional exchange. The artist employs a rich palette and intricate details to convey the opulence of the setting and the varied reactions of the onlookers, ranging from astonishment to disdain. The use of chiaroscuro enhances the dramatic effect, creating a sense of depth and volume that brings the scene to life.

"Le Repas Chez Simon" is a testament to Wolffort's mastery of Baroque aesthetics and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. The painting not only reflects the religious fervor of the period but also showcases the artist's skill in capturing human emotion and interaction. Today, Wolffort's works, including "Le Repas Chez Simon," are appreciated for their artistic and historical significance, contributing to our understanding of Flemish Baroque art and its cultural context.
