# The Feast in the House of Simon [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SUBLEYRAS, Pierre]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 215 x 679 cm ## Commentary In Italy, Subleyras worked on the decoration of numerous religious buildings. The Feast in the House of Simon was commissioned by the Lateran canons for the refectory of the convent of Asti, near Turin. Inspired by the monumentality and realism of Veronese's religious paintings, and faithful to the canons of accessibility advocated by Poussin, with his sombre, intense palette, Subleyras succeeded in combining grandeur and familiarity in representing the episode. ## Related artworks - [Charon Ferrying the Shades]() - [Christ at the House of Simon the Pharisee]() - [Don Cesare Benvenuti]() - [Investing with Insignia]() - [Mass of St Basil]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [Self-Portrait before the Easel]() - [St Ambrose Converting Theodosius]() - [The Marriage of St Catherine]() - [The Mass of Saint Basil]() - [The Mass of Saint Basil]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
