- Abstract
Christ's washing of the feet of the apostles is one of the iconographic types that make up the theme of The Last Supper. This event is first narrated in the Gospel of John, who relates it in detail, something that the synoptic Gospels do not do. The main objective of this article is to carry out a diachronic study of the continuity and variation of this typology. This essay provides research on this iconographic type from its origin and development in the East and further development in the West after the fall of Constantinople. To achieve this goal, I have utilized the iconographic-iconological method, paying close attention to the relationship between the written and visual sources. Studying these biblical and patristic texts allows us to reflect on the significance of washing understood as a process of purification, of the forgiveness of sins, and as a gesture of humility on the part of Christ. Finally, I deal with some aspects relating to the context related to the conceptual and imaginary scope of the iconographic type. I deal mainly with issues relating to the Councils and Synods that established the sacraments related to penance and confession, as well as those that formed the basis of the practice of washing within the liturgy.
