Maria wast de voeten van jonge Christus 1509 - 1546

Giulio Romano's "Maria wast de voeten van jonge Christus" (1509-1546) depicts a scene from the Bible where Mary Magdalene washes the feet of Christ. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a masterful example of Renaissance art, showcasing Romano's skill in depicting anatomical detail and dramatic composition. The figures are rendered with precision, their gestures and expressions conveying the emotional intensity of the scene. The use of light and shadow further enhances the dramatic impact, creating a sense of depth and volume. This drawing is a powerful testament to the artist's talent and offers insight into the religious beliefs of the time.
