"Christ in the House of His Parents" is an oil-on-canvas painting by the British artist John Everett Millais, completed in 1850. The work is also known by its original title, "The Carpenter's Shop." It depicts a young Jesus Christ in Joseph's carpentry workshop, assisting his father in the construction of a door. The scene is an intimate portrayal of the Holy Family, with the Virgin Mary, Saint Anne, and a young John the Baptist also present, along with an older boy who is thought to represent James, brother of Jesus.

The painting is notable for its realistic depiction of a carpentry workshop, including tools and wood shavings scattered on the floor. This attention to detail and the use of contemporary clothing and setting were characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, of which Millais was a founding member. The group aimed to reject the academic standards of the time by returning to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art.

Upon its exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, "Christ in the House of His Parents" was met with controversy. Critics, including Charles Dickens, condemned the work for its lack of idealization and its depiction of the Holy Family in a mundane setting. The painting was criticized for the perceived ugliness of the figures and the inclusion of realistic details such as dirt and grime, which were considered inappropriate for a religious subject.

Despite the initial negative reception, "Christ in the House of His Parents" has since been recognized as a significant work in the history of British art. It is praised for its innovative approach to religious subject matter and its influence on the development of realism in art. The painting is part of the collection at the Tate Britain in London.

Rebecca Solomon, a British painter associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement, is often mentioned in relation to this work due to her collaboration with Millais. She is believed to have painted the figure of the young boy in the background, although her contribution has not been definitively established. Solomon's involvement highlights the collaborative nature of some Pre-Raphaelite works and the role of women artists within the movement, who were often overshadowed by their male counterparts.
