"Maaltijd in Emmaüs" is a 16th-century engraving by German artist Georg Pencz, depicting the biblical story of Jesus appearing to two disciples on the road to Emmaus. The scene showcases the moment Jesus reveals himself by breaking bread, with the disciples' astonished expressions captured in detail. Pencz utilizes intricate linework and masterful shading to convey the figures' emotions and the setting's ambiance. This artwork is a prime example of Northern Renaissance printmaking, demonstrating the era's focus on realism and religious themes. It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
