EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Veronese's masterpiece, "Christ in the House of Simon" created during the late 17th to early 18th century. The artwork, rendered with pen and brown ink, features delicate brushwork and brown washes heightened with lead white. It is executed on blue-gray laid paper and mounted on ivory laid paper. The scene depicted captures a significant moment from the New Testament: Christ being anointed by a sinful woman while seated at dinner. The composition exudes a sense of reverence as it unfolds within the grandeur of classical architecture adorned with towering columns. Veronese's attention to detail is evident in every element of this piece. From the intricate rendering of feet to the graceful portrayal of female figures, his skillful hand brings life to each character present at this intimate gathering. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, we are transported back in time, witnessing firsthand this powerful encounter between Christ and Simon the Pharisee. Through Veronese's masterful interpretation, we are reminded not only of biblical narratives but also invited to reflect upon themes such as forgiveness, redemption, and compassion that resonate across centuries. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Veronese's artistic genius while capturing our imagination through its rich historical context.
