Christ in Emmaus 1550 - 1600

"Christ in Emmaus" is an etching by Johann Sadeler I from the 16th century, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The print depicts the biblical story of Jesus' appearance to two disciples on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection. The scene is set at a table, where Jesus breaks bread in front of the two disciples. He appears to be radiating light, while the disciples are shown in awe, with one pointing toward Jesus. This artwork is an excellent example of Renaissance engraving, showcasing the detailed line work and intricate composition characteristic of the period.
