EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Saint Basil serves a meal to the poor and Christ washing the feet of Peter" transports viewers back in time to witness an extraordinary act of compassion and humility. Created by renowned artists Jan Luyken, Jacobus van Hardenberg, and Barent Visscher in 1700, this masterpiece captures two significant moments from early Christian history. In the foreground, Saint Basil stands at a communal table surrounded by a diverse group of individuals representing Armenians, Copts, Syrians, and others. With arms wide open and an inviting smile on his face, he selflessly serves a nourishing evening meal to those less fortunate. This scene beautifully illustrates the essence of community and highlights Saint Basil's dedication to feeding the hungry as one of the seven acts of mercy. In contrast but equally powerful is the depiction behind him where Christ kneels before Apostle Peter. The image portrays Christ humbly washing Peter's feet – an act symbolizing servitude and love towards one another. This intimate moment between teacher and disciple exemplifies Jesus' teachings on humility and sets an example for all believers. Through Quint Lox's lens capturing this remarkable artwork from Liszt Collection, we are reminded not only of these charitable works but also their enduring significance in our world today. It encourages us to reflect upon how we can extend kindness towards others while embracing diversity within our communities.
