velazquez christ house martha mary Dimensions (inches):22 x 39" created in 1866A biblical scene from the early artistic period of Velzquez. As often happens in Baroque painting, the main scene is depicted in the background, showing Jesus speaking with the sisters Martha and Mary. The characters in the foreground: the elderly woman and the servant, do not belong to the gospel text. Fifty years later, J. Vermeer painted his own version of the biblical passage.
