EDITORS COMMENTS
Donato Creti's Magdalene Washing the Feet of Christ with Eight Disciples Looking On [recto] is a beautiful and evocative pen and brown ink drawing on laid paper, showcasing the biblical story of Mary Magdalene's act of devotion to Jesus. In this depiction, Mary, dressed in a flowing robe and with long, flowing hair, kneels before Jesus, who sits at the center of the composition with his feet extended. Eight disciples look on in awe and contemplation, their expressions conveying a sense of reverence and wonder. The drawing, executed with masterful skill and sensitivity, captures the intimacy and spiritual significance of the moment. Mary Magdalene, a prominent figure in the New Testament and a revered saint in Christianity, is often depicted as a penitent sinner, having been cleansed by Jesus of seven demons. In this scene, however, she is shown in her role as a devoted disciple, performing an act of humility and service to her teacher. The drawing is a testament to the enduring power of the biblical narrative and the artistic vision of Donato Creti, an Italian artist of the Baroque period. This pen and ink drawing is a precious addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural and religious heritage of Europe. It is a reminder of the beauty and depth of the biblical stories, and the enduring influence of art in capturing and preserving the human experience. The drawing is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
