Emmaüsgangers 1581 - 1658

"Emmaüsgangers" is an engraving by Christoffel van (II) Sichem, a Dutch artist born in 1581 and active in the early 17th century. The engraving, measuring only 72 mm in height and 59 mm in width, depicts the biblical story of the Emmaus Road, where Jesus appears to two of his disciples after his resurrection. The scene is rendered in a simple and detailed style, with fine lines and hatching creating a sense of depth and texture. This work, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Sichem's talent for depicting religious narratives in a clear and engaging manner.
