"Christ among the Doctors" (1495-97) is an oil painting attributed to the anonymous Spanish painter known as the Master of the Catholic Kings. This artist, active during the late 15th and early 16th centuries, was named after the Catholic Monarchs, Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon, who reigned during a period of significant religious and political change in Spain, including the final stages of the Reconquista and the initiation of the Spanish Inquisition.

The painting depicts a scene from the New Testament (Luke 2:41-52), where the twelve-year-old Jesus is shown engaging with the elders in the Temple of Jerusalem, demonstrating his precocious wisdom and understanding of scripture. This subject, known as "Christ among the Doctors" or "Christ Disputing with the Elders," was a popular theme in Christian art, symbolizing Jesus's early indication of his divine mission and authority.

Master of the Catholic Kings' rendition of this biblical episode is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the rich, vibrant colors typical of the Hispano-Flemish style, which combines the detailed realism of the Northern Renaissance with the decorative qualities and expressive forms of the Spanish tradition. The figures are depicted with individualized features and are set against a backdrop that reflects the architectural styles of the period, providing a sense of depth and space.

The painting is notable for its portrayal of the figures' expressions and gestures, which convey the intensity of the theological debate and the astonishment of the elders at Jesus's knowledge. The composition's arrangement guides the viewer's focus toward the central figure of Jesus, whose youthful appearance contrasts with the aged scholars surrounding him.

"Christ among the Doctors" by the Master of the Catholic Kings is an important work for its artistic and historical value, offering insight into the religious and cultural milieu of Spain at the dawn of the Renaissance. The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the narrative tradition in Spanish art and serves as a testament to the skill and vision of an artist whose identity remains a mystery, yet whose work continues to be celebrated for its devotional and aesthetic qualities.
