Supper at Emmaus 

This oval-shaped painting by Joachim Wtewael depicts the biblical scene of the *Supper at Emmaus*, in which the resurrected Christ reveals himself to his disciples. Painted sometime during the 17th century, the scene is set in an intimate, dimly lit room, with the three figures gathered around a table illuminated by a single candle. This intimate treatment of the subject is typical of Wtewael’s style, which combined a strong sense of realism with a nuanced understanding of light and shadow. The painting’s small scale suggests it was likely intended for private devotion.
