About the piece
Painted around 1720, this work by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta exemplifies the dramatic lighting and emotional depth of the Venetian school. The scene captures the precise moment Christ is recognized by his disciples, rendered with masterful chiaroscuro that highlights the tactile textures of the bread, clothing, and weathered faces.
