"Christ in the House of Mary and Martha" is a Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Girolamo da Carpi, dating from the 16th century. This artwork depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of Luke (10:38-42), where Jesus visits the home of Mary and Martha. In the narrative, Mary sits at Jesus' feet, listening to his teachings, while Martha is preoccupied with the hospitality duties, leading to a gentle reprimand from Jesus, who emphasizes the importance of spiritual nourishment over material concerns.

Girolamo da Carpi (1501–1556) was an Italian painter and architect from Ferrara, who was influenced by the works of Raphael and the School of Ferrara. His interpretation of "Christ in the House of Mary and Martha" reflects the Mannerist style, characterized by elongated figures and a sophisticated use of perspective and space. The painting is noted for its emotional depth and the intricate interplay of gestures and gazes among the figures, which convey the thematic tension between the contemplative life represented by Mary and the active life represented by Martha.

The painting's composition is balanced, with Christ positioned centrally, acting as the focal point and spiritual axis around which the domestic scene unfolds. The expressions and body language of the characters are rendered with a sensitivity that captures the essence of the moral lesson being imparted. Da Carpi's use of color and light further accentuates the drama and the spiritual hierarchy within the scene.

"Christ in the House of Mary and Martha" by Girolamo da Carpi is an important work that exemplifies the religious and artistic values of its time. It contributes to the rich tapestry of Renaissance interpretations of this biblical episode, offering insight into the period's religious sentiments, artistic conventions, and the enduring appeal of biblical storytelling in visual art. The painting is a testament to da Carpi's skill and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through the medium of paint.
