Supper at Emmaus

Supper at Emmaus

The "Supper at Emmaus" is a post-Resurrection appearance of Jesus described in the Gospel of Luke Chapter 24 verses 13-35. Jesus appeared to Cleopas and one other disciple as they walked to Emmaus. At first "their eyes were holden" so that they could not recognize him - this is the "Meeting at Emmaus". Later while having supper at Emmaus "their eyes were opened" and they recognized him. Both subjects often featured in art, including in cycles of the "Life of Christ".

A very incomplete list of artists who have portrayed the Supper includes:
*Jacopo Bassano
*Caravaggio - Supper at Emmaus (Caravaggio) and two other compositions
*Vittore Carpaccio
*Philippe de Champaigne
*Albrecht Dürer
*Benedetto Gennari
*Jacob Jordaens
*Pedro Orrente
*Rembrandt
*Titian
*Velázquez
*Paolo Veronese
