"Christ in the House of Simon the Pharisee" is a 1656 painting by the French Baroque artist Philippe de Champaigne. This work depicts a biblical scene from the Gospel of Luke (7:36–50), where Jesus is anointed by a sinful woman in the house of Simon the Pharisee. De Champaigne, known for his religious works and portraits, captures the moment with a dramatic intensity and moral complexity that is characteristic of his mature style.

The painting is a detail, focusing on the central figures of the narrative: Christ, the weeping woman who kneels at his feet, and the host, Simon. De Champaigne's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the expressions and gestures of the figures, underscores the emotional and spiritual dynamics of the scene. The woman, traditionally identified as Mary Magdalene, is portrayed with a mix of penitence and devotion as she bathes Jesus' feet with her tears and dries them with her hair, an act that Simon the Pharisee silently judges.

Philippe de Champaigne's treatment of this subject is notable for its theological depth and artistic finesse. The painting invites contemplation on themes of forgiveness, grace, and the recognition of Christ's divinity. As a significant work from the artist's oeuvre, "Christ in the House of Simon the Pharisee" reflects the religious and artistic sensibilities of the 17th century and contributes to the understanding of the Counter-Reformation's impact on European art.

This painting is an important example of de Champaigne's skill in conveying complex religious narratives and is held in high esteem by art historians and critics for its composition, use of color, and its ability to convey profound spiritual messages through visual art. It remains a valuable piece for studying the Baroque period and the religious art of post-Renaissance Europe.
