EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment of compassion and humility. Depicting the scene of Becket washing the feet of beggars, this engraving by William Henry Margetson beautifully portrays an act of selflessness and devotion. In this image, we see Becket, a saintly figure known for his unwavering faith and dedication to serving others, kneeling before a group of impoverished individuals. With great care and tenderness, he washes their weary feet, symbolizing his commitment to providing comfort and assistance to those in need. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the engraving. The expressions on the faces of both Becket and the beggars convey a mixture of gratitude, reverence, and awe. The composition is masterfully balanced with light illuminating Becket's noble features as he carries out this holy act. Originally created as an illustration for "The Church of England" by H. D. M Spence in 1905, this digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate Margetson's artistry even more vividly. It serves as a reminder that acts of kindness can transcend time and continue to inspire generations. This print from Bridgeman Images invites viewers into a world where compassion reigns supreme—a world where saints like Thomas A Becket remind us all that true holiness lies not only in grand gestures but also in simple acts performed with love.
