"Galileo Galilei Davanti Al Santo Uffizio" (Galileo Galilei Before the Holy Office) is a significant historical painting by the Italian artist Domenico Morelli, completed in 1857. The work is renowned for its dramatic depiction of the pivotal moment when the Italian astronomer, mathematician, and physicist Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) faced the Roman Catholic Inquisition, also known as the Holy Office, in 1633. The painting captures the tension and gravity of the event, as Galileo was tried for heresy due to his support of the heliocentric model of the universe, which was contrary to the Church's teachings at the time.

Domenico Morelli (1823–1901), a prominent figure in the Italian art scene of the 19th century, was known for his Romantic and later Symbolist works. He often explored historical, religious, and mythological themes, imbuing them with emotional intensity and a dynamic use of color and light. "Galileo Galilei Davanti Al Santo Uffizio" stands out as one of Morelli's masterpieces, reflecting his interest in the conflict between science and religion, as well as his ability to convey a narrative through powerful visual storytelling.

The painting is characterized by its strong composition, with Galileo positioned centrally, his demeanor reflecting the solemnity of the occasion. The figures of the Inquisition officials are arranged around him, creating a sense of enclosure and scrutiny. Morelli's use of chiaroscuro, the contrast of light and shadow, further emphasizes the emotional and psychological drama unfolding within the scene.

"Galileo Galilei Davanti Al Santo Uffizio" has been widely recognized for its artistic and historical significance. It serves not only as a testament to Morelli's skill as a painter but also as a visual representation of a critical moment in the history of science, where Galileo's defense of his scientific discoveries clashed with the prevailing religious doctrines of his time. The painting remains an important cultural artifact, reflecting the enduring legacy of Galileo's contributions to science and the complexities of his relationship with the Church.
