Painting Depicting The Evangelical Episode Of The Supper At Emmaus

Beautiful oil painting on canvas depicting the evangelical episode of the Supper at Emmaus, taken from the Gospel according to Luke, in which the risen Christ reveals himself to the disciples in the gesture of blessing the bread. The work, attributable to a master of the seventeenth-century Italian school, stands out for the expressive strength of the faces, the theatricality of the gestures and the intense luminous rendering, typical elements of Baroque painting.

The composition is dominated by the central figure of Christ, recognizable by the radiant halo and the iconic gesture of the hand raised in blessing. The disciples, caught in the moment of amazement, animate the scene with faces marked by surprise and devotion. The table set with bread and a knife creates a focal point of simplicity and realism.

The frame, richly carved with scrolls, is a fine example of a Baroque frame in painted wood, contemporary with the painting, and further enhances its scenic impact.

16th century.
