"Christ Washing the Apostles' Feet" is a significant oil painting by the Dutch artist Dirck van Baburen, created in 1616 during the early part of the 17th century. This work is a prime example of the Utrecht Caravaggism movement, showcasing the influence of Caravaggio's dramatic use of chiaroscuro and intense emotional expressions. Van Baburen, known for his profound ability to convey narrative and emotion, depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of John (13:1–17) where Jesus washes the feet of his disciples, an act symbolizing humility and service.

The painting is remarkable for its detailed depiction of the figures and the vivid interplay of light and shadow, which emphasizes the spiritual significance of the scene. Van Baburen's mastery in rendering the textures of fabrics and the realism of the human form is evident, reflecting his study and incorporation of Caravaggio's techniques. "Christ Washing the Apostles' Feet" not only exemplifies Van Baburen's skillful execution and deep religious sentiment but also serves as a critical piece in understanding the development of Dutch Caravaggisti painting in the early 17th century.

This artwork holds a place of importance in Van Baburen's oeuvre and in the broader context of European art history, offering insights into the religious and cultural milieu of the period. It is preserved in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. Through this painting, Van Baburen contributes to the enduring legacy of Caravaggio's influence on Northern European art, demonstrating the transnational exchange of artistic ideas in the Baroque period.
