Christ Washing Peter s Feet 1511

Albrecht Dürer's 1511 woodcut, "Christ Washing Peter's Feet", depicts a scene from the New Testament where Jesus washes the feet of his disciple Peter. This artwork is a powerful example of Dürer's mastery of the woodcut medium, showcasing his ability to create a dramatic and realistic portrayal of the biblical story. The composition is tightly packed, with the figures rendered in meticulous detail and strong chiaroscuro, creating a sense of both intimacy and awe. The work is now in the British Museum, London.
