Christ Washing the Apostles Feet
by BABUREN, Dirck van, Oil on canvas, 199 x 297 cm
Baburen’s broadly narrative Christ Washing the Apostles Feet typifies the Utrecht School formulaic, stages approach. St Peter’s pose, as he protests that Christ should not lower himself to such a humble role, anticipates the violently active figures Bernini sculpted on some of his Roman fountain bases.
