Cleopas en Petrus ontmoeten Christus op hun weg naar Emmaüs 1590 - 1622

This 17th-century engraving by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert depicts the biblical scene of Cleopas and Petrus encountering Jesus on their journey to Emmaus, as told in the Gospel of Luke. The scene takes place in an architectural setting, likely representing a town or village, with the disciples walking towards a doorway. Jesus, in the center, is clearly recognizable by the halo around his head. The engraving's detailed rendering of figures and architecture exemplifies the meticulous style of Baroque art. This artwork, measuring just 133mm x 74mm, is an excellent example of a small-scale print designed for personal devotion. It would have been a popular item for collectors and individuals who sought religious imagery for private contemplation.
