Jesus Washing the Feet of his Disciples 1898

Finnish artist Albert Edelfelt's 1898 painting "Jesus Washing the Feet of His Disciples" depicts a scene from the Gospels where Jesus washes the feet of his disciples. The work portrays a somber and solemn mood, with the disciples appearing humbled and subdued as Jesus kneels before them, demonstrating humility and service. The painting's muted palette and careful attention to detail enhance the emotional impact, offering a powerful visualization of this significant biblical event. The work is considered an example of Edelfelt's later, more religious style.
