EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Diego Velazquez's masterpiece, "Kitchen Maid with the Supper at Emmaus" painted in 1618. The oil on canvas artwork measures 55x118 cm and is housed in the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin. In this scene, a female cook, depicted as a mulatto woman, stands before us amidst her bustling kitchen. She wears a turban and is surrounded by an array of pots, pans, jugs, and copper utensils that hint at her culinary expertise. Her attention seems momentarily diverted from her tasks as she gazes towards Jesus Christ himself who sits at the table. Velazquez masterfully captures the ordinary yet extraordinary moment when Jesus reveals his true identity to two disciples during supper at Emmaus. The artist's meticulous attention to detail can be seen in every element of this composition - from the texture of mortar and pestle to the woven basket filled with pelerins. The presence of a black servant adds depth to this painting by highlighting themes of race and social hierarchy prevalent during that time period. Through his brushstrokes, Velazquez invites viewers to contemplate not only religious significance but also societal dynamics within this domestic setting. This remarkable print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Velazquez's genius up close while preserving its historical context for generations to come.
