About the piece

Painted in 1894, this work by Maurice Denis captures the biblical Supper at Emmaus with the flat, decorative aesthetic characteristic of the Nabis movement. The muted palette of deep greens and earthy tones is punctuated by the warm glow of candles and the golden light of a setting sun visible through the window, creating a sense of quiet reverence.
