Christus en de Emmaüsgangers bij de herberg 1728

"Christus en de Emmaüsgangers bij de herberg" (Christ and the Disciples of Emmaus at the Inn) is an etching created in 1728 by Dutch artist Gilliam van der Gouwen. The artwork portrays the biblical story of Christ appearing to two disciples on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection. The disciples, dressed in traditional garb, walk towards an inn in the background, with Christ appearing in the doorway, his hands outstretched, and his identity still concealed. The etching is characterized by its detailed depiction of the figures, with particular attention to the folds in their clothing and their facial expressions. It is a prime example of the Baroque style prevalent in the Netherlands at the time. The etching is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
