Christus in Emaus
Christ in Emmaus
Albrecht Dürer's woodcut presents Christ seated at the table in Emmaus with the two disciples from the road and two hosts. Christ breaks the bread and thus this image captures the moment just prior to his disappearance from their sight.
Originally from the Small Passion.
