Rembrandt van Rijn, Christ at Emmaus: the Larger Plate, Dutch, 1606 - 1669, 1654, etching, burin and drypoint
The Bible relates the story of two disciples who travelled from Jerusalem to the town of Emmaus following the death of Christ. During their travels they meet a stranger who joins them. When arriving at the town they go to an inn where Christ – for it is he – takes the bread, blesses it and breaks it. Only then do the disciples realise that the stranger is Christ risen from the dead.
