Rembrandt’s etching, *Supper at Emmaus*, depicts the moment when Jesus reveals himself to two disciples after his resurrection. Created in 1654, the artwork features three figures in a simple, warmly lit room, creating a dramatic and intimate atmosphere. This etching showcases Rembrandt’s masterful use of light and shadow, highlighting the central figure of Jesus through a radiant glow while casting the disciples in a more subdued light. It's an evocative image that emphasizes the transformative power of faith and the divine presence in the everyday.
