Supper at Emmaus
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite 18th-century artwork by the renowned Italian artist Francesco Fontebasso. This masterpiece, created in brown ink, brush, and brown wash heightened with white on prepared laid paper, dates back to the eighteenth century. The artwork depicts a significant scene from the New Testament, where Jesus appears to two of his disciples, Cleopas and Simon Peter, while they are having supper at an inn in the town of Emmaus, located on the West Bank of Israel. The scene is beautifully rendered with intricate details, showcasing the disciples in deep conversation, their faces etched with curiosity and wonder as they recognize Jesus in their midst. The table is set with a chalice, a goblet, and a drinking vessel, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The furniture and other objects in the room are also meticulously illustrated, providing a glimpse into the cultural and historical context of the time. The artwork is a testament to Fontebasso's exceptional skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the essence of a biblical story through his art. The use of black and white, or bw, medium adds to the timeless quality of the piece, transporting us back to the 18th century and the world of the New Testament. The artwork is currently on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, Christianity, or the Bible. This masterpiece is a treasure of our cultural heritage and a reminder of the enduring power of art to inspire and captivate us.
