Maaltijd te Emmaüs 1659 - 1704

"Maaltijd te Emmaüs" (Meal at Emmaus), an etching by Paul van (II) Somer, depicts the biblical story of Jesus' appearance to two disciples on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection. The scene shows Jesus breaking bread with the two disciples, who fail to recognize him at first, showcasing the artist’s keen attention to detail and use of chiaroscuro to illustrate the dramatic moment. The piece was created between 1659 and 1704 and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
