Christ in Emmaus c. 1619

"Christ in Emmaus" is a drawing by the Italian Baroque artist Guercino, created around 1619. The artwork depicts the moment when Jesus reveals himself to two of his disciples, Cleopas and another unnamed disciple, after his resurrection. This drawing showcases Guercino’s mastery of depicting human figures in dramatic poses and intricate details of clothing. The drawing, now part of the Städel Museum collection, is a testament to Guercino’s skill in capturing the emotional impact of a biblical story.
