Christus en twee discipelen voor de herberg te Emmaüs 1650 - 1660

"Christus en twee discipelen voor de herberg te Emmaüs" is a 17th-century drawing by Dutch painter Nicolaes Maes, portraying the biblical scene of Christ appearing to two disciples on the road to Emmaus. The quick sketch, executed with pen and brown ink, reveals the artist's mastery of line and composition. The light, almost ghost-like depiction of Christ, contrasting with the more defined forms of the disciples and the surrounding architecture, creates a sense of divine presence and mystery. This drawing exemplifies Maes's ability to convey a narrative with a minimum of detail, capturing the essence of a pivotal moment in Christian tradition.
