Andrea Pozzo (1642 – 1709) was an Italian Jesuit brother, Baroque painter, architect, decorator, stage designer, and art theoretician. He was born in Trento, and when he was studying at the local Jesuit school, he started to show artistic inclinations, so his father sent him to work with an artist. His mainly known for his frescoes executed with the technique of quadrature, an illusionistic painting technique which creates an illusion of three-dimensional space on flat surfaces. When Pozzo was 23, he entered the Jesuit Order as a lay brother, while he continued his artistic training in Genoa and Venice. He was frequently employed by the Jesuits to decorate churches and buildings; in fact, his artistic activity was mainly related to the Jesuit Order's enormous artistic needs.
The painting shows the celebrated biblical episode of “Christ in the house of Simon the Pharisee” (Luke 7:36-50), in which the penitent Mary Magdalene anoints the Lord’s feet, obtaining forgiveness for her sins but the disapproval of bystanders. Luke's Gospel (Luke 7:36-50) tells us that the Pharisee Simon once asked Christ to come to his house and entertain him. During the meal, a well-known sinner appeared in the city, whom the evangelist does not mention by name, but who was later always equated with Mary Magdalene, the sister of Lazarus. To the host's dismay, she knelt before Christ and wept, wetting his feet with her tears, drying them with her hair, kissing and anointing them.

The present painting is a very interesting testimony of the creative process of Matteo Bonechi, one of the leading artists on the Tuscan art scene in the early 18th century. The canvas in question is in fact the last preparatory model made by Bonechi before he executed an altarpiece for the church of San Filippo Neri in Cortona in 1716. The scene presented here is that of the Presentation of Jesus, when, forty days after his birth, the child is ransomed through an offering in the temple and placed in the hands of Simeon, who prophesies his future: the coming of the Messiah...
