Voetwassing op Witte Donderdag en de aanbidding van het kruis op Goede Vrijdag 1724

Bernard Picart's 1724 engraving "Voetwassing op Witte Donderdag en de aanbidding van het kruis op Goede Vrijdag" depicts two scenes from the Passion of Christ. The upper scene shows Jesus washing the feet of his disciples on Maundy Thursday, while the lower scene portrays the adoration of the cross on Good Friday. This intricate work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic representation of religious narratives in 18th-century Europe. The detailed composition and use of line create a powerful and emotive portrayal of these significant events in Christian tradition.
