THE OLD WOMAN IN VELAZQUEZ'S KITCHEN SCENE WITH CHRIST'S VISIT TO MARTHA AND MARY.

LONDON (England); ENGLAND

The article examines the painting "Kitchen Scene with Christ's Visit to Martha and Mary," by Diego Velázquez, which is being displayed at the National Gallery of London in England. Art historians admit that the said painting resembles "Serving Maid with the Supper at Emmaus," also done by Velázquez because they both reflect kitchen views. The author explains that both paintings have a moral content. He claims that the older woman in the foreground of "Kitchen Scene with Christ's Visit to Martha and Mary" is presenting a lesson. However, he concedes that the nature of the lesson is puzzling.
