"Das Gastmahl im Hause des Levi" (The Feast in the House of Levi) is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Paolo Veronese (1528–1588), whose full name is Paolo Caliari. Completed in 1573, the painting was originally intended as a depiction of the Last Supper for the refectory of the Basilica di Santi Giovanni e Paolo, a major place for the Dominican Order in Venice. However, its unconventional elements led to a significant controversy with the Roman Catholic Inquisition, which ultimately resulted in the reidentification of the work.

Spanning an impressive 5.55 meters in height and 12.8 meters in width, this monumental canvas stands out for its vast scale and the complexity of its composition. Veronese's mastery is evident in the richly detailed scene, which diverges from traditional Last Supper portrayals by including a multitude of figures in a variety of contemporary and classical attire, engaging in diverse activities. The inclusion of such elements, alongside animals and other secular details, was deemed inappropriate for a sacred subject by the Inquisition. In response to the controversy, Veronese argued that he had the artistic liberty to include any figures he deemed fit to enhance the narrative and composition of his work. To resolve the dispute without making alterations to the painting, the title was changed from the Last Supper to "The Feast in the House of Levi," referencing a less strictly defined biblical event.

The painting is celebrated for its vibrant color palette, dynamic composition, and the skillful depiction of light and shadow, all of which exemplify Veronese's mastery of the Mannerist style that was prevalent during the late Renaissance. The artist's ability to weave a complex narrative through the interaction of numerous figures, while maintaining harmony and balance within the composition, has been widely admired. "Das Gastmahl im Hause des Levi" not only showcases Veronese's technical prowess and creative imagination but also reflects the tensions between artists and the Church's expectations during the Counter-Reformation.

Today, the painting is housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and study. It remains a pivotal work in the oeuvre of Veronese, offering insight into the cultural and religious dynamics of 16th-century Venice, as well as the artistic challenges and negotiations that characterized the period.
