"Le Christ chez Marthe et Marie" is a painting by Eugène Buland dated 1882. Presented at the Paris Salon that same year, the painting received lukewarm and disdainful comments, with critic Henry Houssaye describing it as "so pale and lifeless it looks as if it were painted with egg white."
Indeed, what strikes the viewer at first glance is the almost blinding light that floods the scene and envelops the three characters in a refined, surreal whiteness. The diaphanous atmosphere that irritated the Parisian public of the time has for us today the charm of a manifestation of the divine, captured in a moment of serene daily intimacy.
The episode is drawn from a passage in the Gospel of Luke (10:38-42) in which Jesus, a guest of Martha and her sister Mary, announces the blessing for all those who stop to listen to the word of God, putting aside for a moment the concerns that material life imposes on us.
The work is housed at the Petit Palais - Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris.
