Maaltijd te Emmaüs c. 1570

"Maaltijd te Emmaüs" is an anonymous engraving from around 1570, depicting the biblical scene of Jesus appearing to two disciples on the road to Emmaus. The print is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, and it shows Jesus seated at a table with the two disciples. The scene is set in a courtyard with a distant cityscape. The engraving's detailed, almost photographic, style reflects the artistic trends of the 16th century. The composition uses strong lines and detailed textures to create a realistic depiction of the story. The print is a valuable example of the skill of anonymous Northern Renaissance engravers.
