Description:

This painting by Vincenzo Campi, titled "Christ in the House of Mary and Martha," offers a unique genre-style interpretation of the biblical narrative. In the foreground, a lavish display of food dominates the scene: various fish, shellfish, poultry, game meats, fruits, and vegetables are meticulously arranged, showcasing a rich abundance. A woman, likely Martha, is prominently featured, looking directly at the viewer while engaged in preparing a salmon fillet. In the background, through an opening, the actual biblical scene of Christ conversing with Mary is subtly depicted, highlighting the contrast between spiritual devotion and worldly concerns, or perhaps the preparations necessary for a divine guest. This work exemplifies Campi's mastery of still life and genre painting while subtly weaving in a religious theme.
