"Christ in the House of Simon" is a 15th-century painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Dieric Bouts the Elder. Created in the 1440s, this artwork is a notable example of Northern Renaissance art, characterized by its attention to detail, use of oil paints, and emphasis on domestic interiors and religious themes. The painting depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ visiting the house of Simon the Pharisee, as recounted in the Gospel of Luke. This event is particularly famous for the moment when a sinful woman, often identified as Mary Magdalene, washes Jesus' feet with her tears and dries them with her hair.

Bouts was known for his devotional panels and altarpieces, and his work is distinguished by its serene figures and a strong sense of narrative. "Christ in the House of Simon" showcases his skill in rendering textures and capturing the emotional subtleties of the scene. The painting's composition is carefully constructed to guide the viewer's eye through the narrative, with the figures positioned to create a sense of intimacy and contemplation.

The painting is a testament to the cultural and artistic shifts of the time, reflecting the growing emphasis on individual piety and the detailed observation of the natural world. As with many of Bouts' works, the exact location of "Christ in the House of Simon" is not always clear, as his paintings have been dispersed across various collections over the centuries. However, the significance of this piece lies in its representation of the evolving artistry of the Northern Renaissance and its impact on the portrayal of religious subjects in a more personal and accessible manner.

Today, "Christ in the House of Simon" is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical importance as a reflection of the spiritual and cultural milieu of 15th-century Northern Europe. It remains an important work for scholars studying the period and for those interested in the development of Netherlandish painting.
