Road to Emmaus 1699

"Road to Emmaus" is a 1699 painting by Ukrainian artist Ivan Rutkovych (c. 1650 - c. 1710), depicting the biblical scene where Jesus appears to two disciples on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection. The icon-like style, with its bold colors and simplified forms, is characteristic of Ukrainian religious art of the period. The painting's focus on the central figures of Jesus and his disciples, against a backdrop of a stylized landscape, emphasizes the spiritual significance of the story. The scene is rendered in a way that is both visually striking and deeply moving, highlighting the profound emotional impact of the encounter.
