"Christ at Supper with Simon the Pharisee" is a distinguished painting by the Italian artist Gaetano Gandolfi, created in the 18th century. Gaetano Gandolfi (1734–1802) was a prominent figure in the late Baroque and early Neoclassical periods, known for his dynamic compositions, vibrant use of color, and adept skill in depicting both the divine and the human. This particular work is a representation of a biblical scene from the New Testament, where Jesus is invited to dine at the house of Simon the Pharisee. The narrative is notable for its exploration of themes such as forgiveness, piety, and the breaking of social norms, as it includes the poignant moment when a sinful woman anoints Jesus' feet as a gesture of repentance and devotion, which becomes a subject of contention and teaching during the meal.

Gandolfi's interpretation of this scene is remarkable for its emotional depth and the intricate detailing of the figures and their surroundings. The composition skillfully balances the sacred and the mundane, highlighting the contrast between the divine serenity of Christ and the varied reactions of the other dinner guests. The artist's mastery in rendering textures, from the luxurious fabrics to the architectural elements, adds to the immersive quality of the scene. Furthermore, Gandolfi's use of light not only enhances the spatial dynamics of the setting but also serves to draw the viewer's attention to the central figures and the moral complexities of the narrative.

"Christ at Supper with Simon the Pharisee" is a testament to Gaetano Gandolfi's ability to convey complex biblical stories with profound humanity and artistic elegance. The painting not only exemplifies Gandolfi's technical prowess but also offers insight into the religious and social mores of his time. As such, it occupies an important place in the study of 18th-century Italian art, offering a window into the era's religious sensibilities, artistic trends, and the enduring appeal of biblical narratives in the visual arts.
