"Christ in the House of Martha and Mary" is an oil painting on panel created in 1515 by the Dutch artist Cornelis Engelbrechtsen. Engelbrechtsen, known as the father of Leiden School of painting, was an influential figure in the early Dutch Renaissance art movement. This work depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of Luke (10:38-42), where Jesus visits the home of Martha and Mary. In the narrative, Martha is busy with the duties of hospitality while her sister Mary sits at Jesus' feet, listening to his teachings. The scene is often used to contrast the contemplative life (Mary) with the active life (Martha).

Engelbrechtsen's interpretation of this subject is notable for its detailed domestic interior and the emotional expressions of its figures. The painting showcases the artist's skill in rendering textures and surfaces, from the food on the table to the rich fabrics worn by the figures. The composition is carefully structured to draw the viewer's eye to the central figure of Christ, who is depicted engaging with both sisters, thus emphasizing the moral and theological themes of the story.

As a significant work of Northern Renaissance art, "Christ in the House of Martha and Mary" reflects the period's interest in religious themes, as well as the emerging focus on everyday life and individual experience. The painting is also an example of the transition from the medieval to the early modern period in European art, characterized by a greater emphasis on realism, perspective, and human emotion.

Engelbrechtsen's painting is an important piece for understanding the development of Dutch art and the influence of religious narratives on the visual culture of the time. It remains a valuable artifact for both its artistic merit and its contribution to the historical understanding of the period's artistic trends and religious thought.
