"The Parable of the Invited Unworthy" is a Baroque-era painting by the Italian artist Bernardo Strozzi, who was active during the early 17th century. Strozzi, known for his rich color palette and dynamic compositions, was one of the preeminent painters in Genoa before moving to Venice. This painting is an interpretation of a biblical parable, a common subject for artists of the time, which allowed them to explore complex human emotions and moral lessons through religious narratives.

The artwork depicts the moment from the parable where the unworthy, having been invited to a feast after the initial guests refused to attend, is found without a wedding garment and is subsequently cast out. This scene is often interpreted as a lesson in humility and the consequences of being spiritually unprepared. Strozzi's rendition of the parable is characterized by his signature dramatic lighting and the vivid expressions of his figures, which convey the tension and surprise of the moment.

The painting is notable for its expressive brushwork and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures. Strozzi's work bridges the transition from the late Renaissance style of painting to the more emotive and theatrical Baroque period, and "The Parable of the Invited Unworthy" exemplifies this stylistic evolution.

As with many of Strozzi's works, the painting is admired for its ability to capture the psychological intensity of the scene, drawing viewers into the narrative through the interaction of the characters and the dramatic use of light and shadow. The painting remains an important example of Baroque religious art and contributes to our understanding of the period's artistic movements and the thematic preoccupations of its artists.
