Christ in the House of Martha and Mary (Dutch: Christus in het huis van Martha en Maria) is an oil painting finished in 1655 by the Dutch Golden Age painter Johannes Vermeer.
It is the largest painting by Vermeer and one of the very few with an overt religious subject.
The story of Christ visiting the household of the two sisters Mary of Bethany and Martha goes back to the New Testament.
[1] The work has also been called Christ in the House of Mary and Martha (reversing the last two names).
Vermeer did not paint the robe of Christ with his usual blue pigment of choice ultramarine (see for example The Milkmaid) but with a mixture of smalt, indigo and lead white.
