In 1628 Rembrandt painted this version of the Emmaus narrative in Luke 24. Again he focusses on the table scene, but this time the portrait is as dramatic as the other one was quiet and intimate (cf. yesterday's blog). The disciple experiences with a shock who his companion at the table really is.
This is something to reflect on. I am busy tracing paintings on the Emmaus narrative. It is a fascinating search. More later.
