Hans Holbein the Elder’s "Christ Washing St Peter's Feet" (1501) is a depiction of the biblical story of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. The painting is noted for its realistic portrayal of figures and detailed depiction of the setting. Holbein’s characteristic use of bright colours and fine detail is evident in the depiction of the figures’ clothing and the room’s architecture. This artwork is considered a significant example of early German Renaissance painting. The painting is currently housed at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
