Discuss the style and iconography of Christ Washing the Feet of His Disciples from the Gospels of Otto III.
What will be an ideal response?
the ideal Answer should include:
1. The sharply outlined drawing and a lavish field of gold demonstrates how Ottonian artists were inspired by Byzantine art.
2. The illumination depicts the moment when Jesus washes the feet of his disciples during their final meal together.
3. Peter appears on the left looking reluctant, symbolizing his opposition to the ritual; in the center of the composition, Jesus appears larger and gestures emphatically to underscore the necessity and significance of the act.
4. The figure' bodies are tall and slender, and the selective stylization of illumination allowed the artist to transform the Classical tradition into a style of expressiveness and narrative power.
