Supper at Emmaus

The resurrected Christ reveals himself to two disciples at an inn, one recoiling in astonishment, the other gripping his chair as if to rise, while the innkeeper looks on uncomprehending.

Significance

A masterpiece of dramatic revelation, the still life of fruit on the table includes overripe specimens symbolizing decay and resurrection. The beardless Christ was controversial.
