"Christ in Emmaus" is a 1510 woodcut by the German Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer, part of his series “The Small Passion”. The work depicts the moment when Christ reveals himself to two of his disciples at a meal, as described in the Gospel of Luke. Dürer uses light and shadow to create a dramatic effect, with Christ’s divine presence radiating from the center of the composition. This print exemplifies Dürer's masterful use of line and detail, characteristic of Northern Renaissance art. Its intimate scale and emotional intensity make it a powerful depiction of Christ's resurrection.
