"Christ in the House of Simon the Pharisee" is a 1656 painting by the French Baroque artist Philippe de Champaigne. This artwork 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. The painting is notable for its dramatic representation of the event, capturing the emotional intensity and moral contrasts between the figures of Jesus, the penitent woman, and the host, Simon.

In the painting, Champaigne illustrates the moment of the woman's profound act of contrition and devotion as she washes Jesus' feet with her tears, dries them with her hair, and anoints them with expensive ointment. The scene is often interpreted as a demonstration of Jesus' message of forgiveness and the transformative power of faith and repentance. Champaigne's composition focuses on the interaction between the characters, with Jesus at the center, embodying a serene and forgiving presence, while Simon looks on with a judgmental gaze, and the woman is depicted in a state of humble supplication.

Philippe de Champaigne, a prominent painter of the French Baroque era, was known for his religious works, portraits, and still lifes. His style is characterized by a clear and rational approach to painting, with a focus on realism and a restrained use of color. "Christ in the House of Simon the Pharisee" is a fine example of his religious paintings, which often reflect his Jansenist sympathies—a movement within Catholicism that emphasized original sin, human depravity, the necessity of divine grace, and predestination.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art. It remains an important work within Champaigne's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its historical, cultural, and religious significance.
