"The Feast in the House of Levi" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Renaissance 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 painting measures approximately 5.55 x 12.8 meters, making it one of the largest canvases of the 16th century.

Originally commissioned for the refectory of the Basilica di Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice as a depiction of the Last Supper, the painting became the subject of an Inquisition trial due to its unconventional portrayal of the biblical scene. Veronese's inclusion of various secular characters and details, such as German soldiers, dwarfs, and even a dog, was deemed inappropriate for a sacred subject. To avoid the charge of heresy, Veronese was ordered to modify the painting; instead, he cleverly resolved the issue by renaming it "The Feast in the House of Levi," referencing a different biblical event that allowed for a more diverse gathering.

The work is celebrated for its grand scale, rich color palette, and Veronese's mastery of Mannerist style, characterized by complex composition and elongated figures. The artist's use of perspective and his ability to capture the textures of luxurious fabrics and the play of light on surfaces contribute to the painting's dramatic effect. "The Feast in the House of Levi" not only showcases Veronese's artistic skill but also reflects the cultural and religious tensions of its time, offering insight into the Counter-Reformation's impact on art.

As a significant example of Venetian Renaissance painting, "The Feast in the House of Levi" continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical context. It remains a testament to Veronese's ingenuity in navigating the era's artistic constraints while creating a work of enduring beauty and complexity.
