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.
