"Christ in the Carpenter's Shop" (also known as "Christ in the House of His Parents") is a 1645 painting by the French Baroque artist Georges de La Tour. This work is one of de La Tour's religious-themed paintings, which often depicted biblical scenes in a contemporary 17th-century setting. The painting portrays a young Jesus Christ assisting Joseph in his carpentry workshop, a subject that highlights the human aspect of Jesus' life and emphasizes his upbringing in a humble, working-class family.

The composition of "Christ in the Carpenter's Shop" is notable for its use of chiaroscuro, a technique that de La Tour mastered, where the contrast between light and shadow is used to dramatic effect. The painting is illuminated by a single light source, which casts a soft glow on the figures and objects within the scene, creating a sense of intimacy and contemplation. This technique also serves to draw the viewer's attention to the central figures of Jesus and Joseph, as well as the symbolic elements present in the work.

De La Tour's painting is imbued with symbolic meaning, common in religious artworks of the period. The depiction of Jesus working with wood and the presence of carpentry tools have been interpreted as foreshadowing his crucifixion, with the wood alluding to the cross and the tools to the instruments of his Passion. The young Christ is often shown with a halo, signifying his divine nature, while the figures around him are portrayed in a more realistic and human manner.

"Christ in the Carpenter's Shop" is considered an important example of Georges de La Tour's oeuvre and of French Baroque painting. The work reflects the artist's interest in everyday life, his skillful manipulation of light and shadow, and his ability to convey profound religious themes through simple, relatable scenes. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic and iconographic significance, and it continues to be studied for its contribution to the understanding of 17th-century French art and Catholic iconography.
