Christ at Emmaus 1634

Rembrandt van Rijn's etching "Christ at Emmaus" from 1634, depicts the biblical story of Jesus appearing to two disciples after his resurrection. The etching shows the three figures at a table, illuminated by a radiant light emanating from Christ. This dramatic use of light and shadow is characteristic of Rembrandt's style and highlights the miraculous moment of recognition. The inclusion of a dog, a common motif in Rembrandt's work, adds to the intimate and earthly setting of the scene. The etching is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith and the enduring relevance of the biblical story.
