Christus en zijn discipelen in het huis van de Farizeeër weigeren de rituele handwassing 1482 - 1484

This small woodblock print, created by the Master of Gouda II between 1482 and 1484, depicts the biblical story of Christ and his disciples refusing to wash their hands before a meal, as is customary for the Pharisees. The scene unfolds in a simple interior, with a detailed geometric floor pattern suggesting a tiled room. This artwork is a prime example of the "Meister der Gouda" style, characterized by its use of bright colors, expressive figures, and meticulous details. The print is a testament to the enduring power of biblical narratives in art and a valuable document of artistic practices in the late 15th century.
