This Baroque-style painting, "St. Augustine Washing the Feet of the Redeemer," by Italian artist Guercino, depicts a scene from the Gospel of John where St. Augustine washes the feet of Christ. The painting's dramatic composition, with St. Augustine kneeling before Christ and looking upwards with a gesture of humility, emphasizes the religious fervor of the subject. It's housed in the Basilica of Sant'Agostino in Rome. The dramatic use of light and shadow, characteristic of Guercino's style, creates a sense of depth and movement.
