Painting Description
"Small Passion: 9. Christ Washing Peter's Feet" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of his "Small Passion" series. This series, completed between 1509 and 1511, comprises 36 woodcuts and a title page, and it is one of Dürer's most significant religious works, showcasing his mastery of the woodcut medium. The "Small Passion" series depicts various scenes from the life and Passion of Christ, offering a compact and accessible devotional narrative to the literate lay public of the time.
In "Christ Washing Peter's Feet," Dürer illustrates the biblical episode from the Gospel of John (13:1-17), where Jesus, in a display of humility and service, washes the feet of his disciples before the Last Supper. This particular scene focuses on the moment when Jesus washes the feet of Peter, who initially resists the act but is persuaded by Christ's explanation that it is necessary to share in his fellowship.
Dürer's woodcut captures the intimacy and solemnity of the event, with attention to the emotional expressions and the intricate details of the figures' garments and the surrounding environment. The composition is balanced and harmonious, reflecting Dürer's skill in conveying complex theological themes through visual art. The work is also notable for its fine lines and the use of chiaroscuro, which demonstrates Dürer's innovative approach to the woodcut technique, pushing the medium to new expressive heights.
"Small Passion: 9. Christ Washing Peter's Feet" is not only a reflection of Dürer's artistic talent but also an embodiment of the Northern Renaissance's engagement with religious subject matter, characterized by a focus on human emotion and a deep reverence for the divine. This woodcut, along with the rest of the "Small Passion" series, contributed to Dürer's reputation as one of the foremost artists of his time and remains an important work for the study of Renaissance art and the history of printmaking.
