"Christ in the House of His Parents" is an oil painting by Sir John Everett Millais, completed in 1849-1850. The painting depicts a young Jesus Christ in the workshop of his father, Joseph, surrounded by his family, including the Virgin Mary and Saint Anne. The scene illustrates a moment from Christ's childhood, where he has injured his hand on a nail, foreshadowing the crucifixion. The work is noted for its meticulous detail and its use of symbolism to convey theological themes.

Upon its exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, the painting generated considerable controversy. Critics and the public were divided in their reactions, with some praising its technical skill and innovative approach to religious subject matter, while others condemned it for what they perceived as its irreverent portrayal of the Holy Family. Charles Dickens, among others, criticized the depiction of the Holy Family as too ordinary and lacking in holiness.

"Christ in the House of His Parents" is considered a key work in the Pre-Raphaelite movement, of which Millais was a founding member. The Pre-Raphaelites sought to reject what they viewed as the artificial and formulaic approach of Mannerist artists who followed Raphael and Michelangelo. They aimed instead for a return to the abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian and Flemish art.

The painting is currently housed in the Tate Britain in London. Its detailed execution and the controversy it sparked have continued to make it a subject of scholarly interest and public curiosity.
