Christ at Emmaus: The Larger Plate Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn

A very good, well-inked impression of the fourth state, with very fine hatching strengthening the shadows on the right part of the table right below the tablecloth and with fine plate tone throughout. In the same year Rembrandt created his small etchings on the childhood of Christ, he also produced four larger prints depicting key moments from Christ’s life. Among them is the Supper at Emmaus, which captures the moment two disciples recognise the resurrected Christ as he breaks bread with them. Their emotional response is clear — one raises his arms in shock, the other folds his hands in prayer. Christ, seated at the centre, radiates light, symbolising spiritual revelation. In contrast, the innkeeper in the foreground remains unaware of the miracle, still in darkness. With wide margins, up to 1 cm around the platemark. – Paper lightly time-stained and with isolated light foxing. Reverse side with scattered ink lines, otherwise in very good condition. | 1606 Leiden - Amsterdam 1669 | 15.-18. Jahrhundert | Druckgrafik | Nummer: 26x1309
