The Feast in the House of Levi or Christ in the House of Levi is a 1573 oil painting by Italian painter Paolo Veronese and one of the largest canvases of the 16th century, measuring 555 cm × 1,309 cm (18.21 ft × 42.95 ft). It is now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia, in Venice. It was painted by Veronese for a wall of a Dominican friary called the refectory of the Basilica di Santi Giovanni e Paolo.
This painting was intended to be a Last Supper, to replace an earlier work by Titian of this subject destroyed by fire in 1571. The painting is directly tied to Luke, chapter 5, of the Bible which is clear from the inscription the artist added. The painting shows a banquet taking place in which Christ is the focal point at the center of the image. However, the painting led to an investigation by the Tribunal of the Venetian Holy Inquisition. Veronese was called to answer for irreverence and indecorum, and the serious offense of heresy was mentioned.
