Washing of feet 1311

Duccio's "Washing of Feet" (c. 1311) depicts the biblical event of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. The scene, characterized by its detailed figures and vibrant colors, is set in a domestic interior. This panel is a part of a larger altarpiece, the Maestà, which is one of the most iconic works of the Sienese School, a prominent artistic tradition in Italy during the 13th and 14th centuries. Duccio's careful rendering of the figures and the intimate portrayal of the event are a testament to his mastery of the early Italian Renaissance style. This scene is a visual representation of humility and service.
