Christus wast de voeten van zijn discipelen 1573

"Christus wast de voeten van zijn discipelen" (Christ Washes the Feet of His Disciples) is a 1573 engraving by Philips Galle, a Flemish artist known for his printmaking. The artwork depicts the biblical scene where Jesus washes the feet of his disciples as a gesture of humility and service. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a fine example of Galle's detailed and expressive style, capturing the solemnity and tenderness of the moment. The composition effectively uses light and shadow to highlight the central figures and create a sense of depth.
