Christ Among the Doctors is a painting in oils on canvas by Paolo Veronese, now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.

[1] The work was recorded as being in the Casa Contarini in Padua in 1648, but by 1686 it was in the Real Alcázar di Madrid, having possibly been brought back between 1649 and 1651 by Diego Velázquez after his second trip to Italy.

It is a typical canvas by Veronese showing his preference for large compositions and numerous characters integrated into monumental architecture, as seen – for example – in his Feast in the House of Levi or in The Wedding at Cana.

In Christ Among the Doctors twenty-five human figures in different poses and perspectives, dressed in rich clothes, display Veronese's skill in arranging a great variety of colors.

In this work Veronese follows the typical characteristics of Venetian painting, primarily through his concern for the treatment of light and the harmony of colors.
