"Christ in the House of Mary and Martha" is a 1637 oil painting by the Dutch artist Pieter de Bloot (1601–1658), who is known for his genre scenes and landscapes. The painting depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of Luke (10:38–42), in which Jesus visits the home of Mary and Martha. In this narrative, Mary sits at Jesus' feet and listens to his teachings while Martha is preoccupied with the hospitality duties, a contrast that has been interpreted as the juxtaposition of spiritual contemplation versus worldly labor.

De Bloot's interpretation of this scene is notable for its emphasis on the domestic interior and the detailed rendering of household items, which reflects the Dutch Golden Age painters' interest in everyday life and their ability to imbue ordinary scenes with moral and religious significance. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the textures and surfaces of materials, contribute to the intimate atmosphere of the scene.

While not as widely recognized as his contemporaries, such as Johannes Vermeer or Pieter de Hooch, Pieter de Bloot's work provides valuable insight into the social and cultural context of the 17th-century Netherlands. "Christ in the House of Mary and Martha" is a fine example of de Bloot's oeuvre, showcasing his skill in combining biblical subject matter with the genre painting tradition of his time.

The painting is part of the collection of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance. Through works like "Christ in the House of Mary and Martha," Pieter de Bloot contributes to the rich tapestry of Dutch Golden Age painting, offering a window into the era's complex interplay between the sacred and the secular.
