"The Supper at Emmaus" is a 1893 engraving by American artist Timothy Cole, known for his meticulous and detailed renderings. This artwork depicts a biblical scene where Jesus appears to two disciples after his resurrection, as they break bread together. Cole's engraving captures the intimate and moving moment, showcasing his mastery in translating the subtle nuances of light and shadow from the original painting, likely by a 17th-century Dutch master. This work, now in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to Cole's skill as a printmaker, showcasing the power of engraving in conveying religious and historical narratives.
