Supper in the House of Simon the Pharisee (Moretto)

Supper in the House of Simon the Pharisee is a 1544 oil on canvas painting by Moretto da Brescia, now in the Chiesa della Pietà in Venice, Italy.

He also included more minor details than usual in his work, probably at the request of the commissioner, the Canons Regular of San Giorgio in Alga.

[3] When the Canons Regular were suppressed by pope Clement IX, the painting was taken into central Venice, though its next location there is unknown.

[4] In 1820 the Austrian Imperial government subsidized the painting's restoration at the Scuola Grande di Santa Maria della Carità.

[1] In the second half of the 20th century, to remedy its unsuitable location in the Gallerie, it was moved to the city's Diocesan Museum after another restoration.
