Christ Washing the Disciples' Feet 1470 - 1480

Editor: This delicate miniature, "Christ Washing the Disciples' Feet," made by an anonymous artist, has a spectral, dreamlike quality to it. What do you see in this piece, beyond its obvious fragility? Curator: It feels like a whisper from another time, doesn't it? I see a radical act of humility, almost scandalous in its tenderness. The artist, though unknown, captured a pivotal moment of servant leadership. It makes me wonder, doesn't it, how often we miss the sacred in the mundane? Editor: It does make you think. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure. It's always rewarding to look closer.
