The Well-stocked Kitchen, with Jesus in het House of Martha and Mary in the Background, 1566 Joachim Bueckelaer
In this bustling scene, we're drawn into a well-stocked kitchen where two maids are engrossed in their culinary duties. One maid is meticulously plucking a chicken while the other skewers another onto a spit. Off to the left, several individuals gather by the hearth. The foreground is a veritable feast for the eyes - game and poultry, an array of vegetables and fruits, all beautifully displayed. Amidst this cornucopia lie various glassware, jars, pitchers, and plates. In the background, adding depth to the narrative, Jesus can be seen visiting Martha and Mary's home.
