"Der Gang nach Emmaus" (The Road to Emmaus) is a painting by Swiss symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin, created in 1871. This artwork is one of Böcklin's interpretations of the biblical story from the Gospel of Luke, in which two disciples of Jesus encounter him on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection, without recognizing him initially. Böcklin's representation of this scene is noted for its symbolic and atmospheric qualities, characteristic of his approach to painting during the period.

The painting depicts the moment when the risen Christ, cloaked in a traveler's garb, walks alongside the two disciples who are deep in conversation about the recent events in Jerusalem. The setting is typically rendered with Böcklin's attention to landscape, imbuing the scene with a sense of mystery and the supernatural. The use of light and shadow, as well as the somber color palette, contributes to the overall mood of the painting, evoking a sense of contemplation and revelation.

"Der Gang nach Emmaus" reflects Böcklin's fascination with mythological and allegorical subjects, as well as his interest in exploring the psychological and emotional dimensions of human experience. The painting is part of a broader oeuvre that includes other well-known works such as "Die Toteninsel" (The Isle of the Dead) and "Die Lebensinsel" (The Isle of Life), which similarly explore themes of life, death, and the metaphysical.

As with many of Böcklin's works, "Der Gang nach Emmaus" has been analyzed for its symbolic content and its place within the context of European symbolism and the broader 19th-century art movements. The painting is held in high regard for its technical execution and its ability to engage viewers with its enigmatic narrative and atmospheric depth.

The painting can be seen as a reflection of the artist's personal exploration of spirituality and the human condition, and it continues to be studied for its contribution to the symbolist movement and its impact on later artists. "Der Gang nach Emmaus" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Arnold Böcklin and in the history of 19th-century European art.
