In Christ in the House of Martha and Mary (Vermeer), how is the abstract discussed?
Christ in the House of Martha and Mary (Dutch: Christus in het huis van Martha en Maria) is a painting finished in 1655 by the Dutch Golden Age painter Johannes Vermeer. It is now in the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh. It is the largest painting by Vermeer and one of the very few with an overt religious motive. The story of Christ visiting the household of the two sisters Mary of Bethany and Martha goes back to the New Testament. The work has also been called Christ in the House of Mary and Martha (reversing the last two names).
