Painting Description
"Supper at Emmaus" (1601-1602) is a seminal painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, housed in the National Gallery in London. This work is celebrated for its dramatic realism and the revolutionary use of chiaroscuro that became synonymous with Caravaggio's name. The painting depicts the moment from the Gospel of Luke (24:30-31) when the resurrected Jesus reveals his identity to two of his disciples in the town of Emmaus, only to vanish from their sight as they recognize him.
Measuring 141 cm × 196.2 cm (55.5 in × 77.2 in), the painting is renowned for its vivid human emotion and the stark contrast of light and shadow that accentuates the astonishment and awe of the disciples upon recognizing Christ. Caravaggio's mastery in rendering the textures of the tablecloth and the food, as well as the naturalistic depiction of the figures, lends the scene an immediacy that was groundbreaking at the time. The artist's use of contemporary clothing for the figures instead of traditional biblical attire further enhances the temporal immediacy and accessibility of the scene.
"Supper at Emmaus" is notable for its departure from the idealized depictions of biblical scenes typical of the Renaissance, presenting a more approachable and humanized narrative. Caravaggio's influence on the development of Baroque art is evident in this work, which combines a keen observation of the human state with a dramatic narrative, setting the stage for future generations of artists. The painting is not only a masterpiece of Caravaggio's oeuvre but also a defining work of the Baroque period, encapsulating the emotional intensity and dynamic composition that characterize the movement.
