Christ in the House of Simon c. 1700

"Christ in the House of Simon" is a drawing by the Italian Renaissance artist Paolo Veronese, dating back to the early 18th century. This work, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, depicts a biblical scene where Jesus is seated with his disciples at a table, with a group of figures gathered around them. The detailed depiction of the architectural setting and the expressive figures are characteristic of Veronese's style. This drawing, executed in brown ink, showcases Veronese's skill in capturing the movement and emotion of his subjects, contributing to the overall narrative of the scene.
