About the piece
Created in 1601, Caravaggio’s 'Supper at Emmaus' is a definitive example of the artist’s mastery of chiaroscuro. The work captures the precise moment two disciples recognize the resurrected Christ, rendered with startling realism and psychological depth. The meticulous detail in the still-life elements on the table and the dynamic gestures of the figures make this a commanding presence for any traditional gallery setting.
