Picture This: Velázquez’ Christ with Martha and Mary

Jane Boyd

Leverhulme Trust Research Fellow

How do we interpret paintings which concern biblical texts? In a recent publication, the artist Jane Boyd and biblical critic Philip Esler offer a fresh set of answers to this question. Focusing on one painting by Diego Velázquez, Jane Boyd elaborates upon the critical context of this artist’s environment and how it effected a certain conceptual development which in the context of today’s viewer also provokes the question, ‘Where is the mirror?’

Key Words: Velázquez • Martha and Mary • Spatial divisions • Social sciences • Painting • Beuckelaer • Mirror
