Christ Washing the Disciples’ Feet was a favourite theme of Tintoretto and there are at least six known works by him on the subject. The scene comes from a passage in John 13 where before the Last Supper Christ washes the feet of his disciples. This passage called for a complex image with many characters in a variety of poses and motions and the diversity and challenge attracted Tintoretto.
