"Christ Washing the Disciples' Feet" is a 1623 oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Peter Wtewael, also known as Pieter Wtewael or Peter Utrecht. The painting depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of John (13:1–17), where Jesus washes the feet of his disciples as an act of humility and service, setting an example that they should love and serve one another. This event is commemorated by Christians as part of Holy Thursday observances during Holy Week.

In Wtewael's interpretation, the scene is rendered with meticulous attention to detail and dramatic lighting, characteristics of the Utrecht Caravaggisti, a group of Dutch painters influenced by the style of the Italian artist Caravaggio. Wtewael's composition captures the moment of profound humility and tenderness, as Christ kneels before one of his disciples, with others looking on in various states of emotion and contemplation. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, serves to heighten the emotional intensity of the scene and focus the viewer's attention on the central act of Jesus washing the feet.

The painting is notable for its fine execution, rich color palette, and the way it reflects the religious and cultural sensibilities of the Dutch Republic in the 17th century. As with many of Wtewael's works, the painting showcases his skill in depicting human figures and his ability to convey narrative through expressive gestures and facial expressions.

"Christ Washing the Disciples' Feet" is part of Peter Wtewael's oeuvre, which includes mythological, religious, and genre scenes. His works are held in various museum collections around the world, contributing to the understanding of the Northern Baroque period and the influence of Caravaggism outside Italy. The painting is an important example of Wtewael's religious works and offers insight into the devotional practices and artistic trends of the time.
