"The Prodigal Son in Modern Life: The Fatted Calf" is a painting by French artist James Jacques Joseph Tissot, completed in between 1880 and 1882. This work is part of a larger series of parables the Prodigal Son adapted to modern life, illustrating the biblical story of The Parable of the Prodigal Son narrated in Luke 15:11–32 in a contemporary context.

This composition presents a pivotal moment in the narrative, when the wayward son, who squandered his inheritance, returns home to his father's open arms. The scene depicted in "The Fatted Calf," is named after the festive meal prepared to celebrate the son's return, symbolizing forgiveness and reconciliation.

Characterized by Tissot's skillful detail and exceptional use of color, the work employs a clear narrative style and deft representation of everyday life, as a means to make biblical themes accessible and relevant to contemporary audiences. With its focus on forgiveness, renewal, and reconciliation, the painting resonates with the Christian theme of redemption, whilst offering a social commentary on the societal norms of Tissot's era.

Tissot, a prominent painter and illustrator of the late 19th century, was known for his interest in the representation of biblical scenes in modern-life settings, as well as his unique ability to blend elements of academic and genre paintings. "The Prodigal Son in Modern Life: The Fatted Calf" is an emblematic example of his distinct approach and enduring contribution to 19th-century European art.
