"Banquet at the House of Simon 2" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Bernardo Strozzi, who was active during the early 17th century. Strozzi, often referred to as "Il Cappuccino" due to his early monastic life, was a prominent figure in the Genoese and Venetian art scenes. His works are characterized by their vibrant color palette, dynamic compositions, and dramatic use of light and shadow, which reflect the influence of Caravaggio and the Venetian masters.

This painting depicts the biblical scene from the New Testament where Jesus is anointed by a woman at the house of Simon the Pharisee. The narrative, found in the Gospel of Luke (7:36-50), describes how a sinful woman, often identified as Mary Magdalene, washes Jesus' feet with her tears, dries them with her hair, and anoints them with expensive perfume. This act of humility and devotion contrasts sharply with the skepticism and judgment of Simon and the other guests, highlighting themes of forgiveness, repentance, and divine grace.

Strozzi's interpretation of this scene is marked by its emotional intensity and intricate detailing. The composition is carefully arranged to draw the viewer's eye towards the central figures of Jesus and the woman, whose interaction forms the emotional core of the painting. The artist's skillful use of chiaroscuro enhances the dramatic effect, creating a sense of depth and volume that brings the scene to life. The rich textures and vibrant colors of the garments and surroundings further add to the visual impact, showcasing Strozzi's mastery of the Baroque style.

"Banquet at the House of Simon 2" is a testament to Strozzi's ability to convey complex narratives and emotions through his art. It remains an important work for understanding the development of Baroque painting in Italy and the broader cultural and religious context of the period.
