''Christ in the House of His Parents'' (1849–50) is a painting by John Everett Millais depicting the Holy Family in Saint Joseph's carpentry workshop. The painting was extremely controversial when first exhibited, prompting many negative reviews, most notably one written by Charles Dickens. It catapulted the previously obscure Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood to notoriety and was a major contributor to the debate about Realism in the arts. It is currently housed in the Tate Britain in London. ==Subject== The painting depicts the young Jesus assisting Joseph in his workshop. Joseph is making a door, which is laid on his carpentry work-table. Jesus has cut his hand on an exposed nail, leading to a sign of the stigmata, prefiguring the crucifixion. As Saint Anne removes the nail with a pair of pincers, his concerned mother Mary offers her cheek for a kiss while Joseph examines his wounded hand. The young John the Baptist brings in water to wash the wound, prefiguring his later baptism of Christ. An assistant of Joseph's, representing potential future Apostles, watches these events. In the background various objects are used to further point up the theological significance of the subject. A ladder, referring to Jacob's Ladder, is visible leaning against the back wall; a dove standing for the Holy Spirit rests on it. Other carpentry implements refer to the Holy Trinity. Millais probably used Albrecht Dürer's print ''Melancholia I'' as a source for this imagery, along with quattrocento works. The sheep in the fold in the background represent the future Christian flock.〔(George P. Landow, Typology in the Visual Arts, II. Millais's Christ in the House of His Parents )〕 It has been suggested that Millais was influenced by John Rogers Herbert's painting ''Our Saviour Subject to His Parents at Nazareth''.〔(Herbert's painting )〕 He may also have drawn on a painting depicting Jesus helping Joseph in his workshop, which at the time was attributed to Annibale Carracci.〔Catherine Roach, ''The Artist in the House of His Patron: Images-within-Images in John Everett Millais's Portraits of the Wyatt Family'', Visual Culture in Britain, 1 July, 2008 1, 1 March 2010, pp.67 – 92〕
