"The Feast in the House of Levi" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Paolo Veronese (1528–1588), also known as Paolo Caliari. Completed in 1573, the work is housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy. This monumental canvas measures approximately 18 feet by 42 feet, making it one of the largest paintings of the 16th century.

Originally commissioned by the Confraternity of Saint John the Evangelist for the refectory of the Basilica di Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice, the painting was intended to depict the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples. However, Veronese's interpretation was unconventional and included a multitude of figures, both biblical and contemporary, engaging in various activities. The scene is characterized by its opulence, rich colors, and intricate details, which reflect the grandeur of Venetian society and the artist's mastery of Mannerist aesthetics.

The work became the subject of controversy when the Roman Catholic Inquisition summoned Veronese to explain the inclusion of what they deemed "irreverent" elements, such as German soldiers, dwarfs, and other non-biblical characters. In response to the Inquisition's objections, Veronese argued that he was following the conventions of artistic license and the grand style. To avoid further conflict, the painting was eventually retitled from "The Last Supper" to "The Feast in the House of Levi," referencing a less strictly defined biblical event that allowed for a broader interpretation.

"The Feast in the House of Levi" is celebrated for its dramatic composition, the skillful use of perspective, and the vibrancy of its color palette. It stands as a testament to Veronese's creativity and his ability to blend religious themes with the secular life of Venetian society. The painting remains a significant example of the Mannerist period and is a highlight of Veronese's artistic legacy.
