The Disciples on the Way to Emmaus is a 1604 ink by Nicolaes de Bruyn, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet forest scene with two people walking along a path. A large tree stands beside them, its branches reaching over the road. In the distance, a village sits near a body of water, with hills and a castle-like building on a rocky outcrop. The two figures look like travelers, maybe talking. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, making the trees and hills look solid. Try looking up *engraving* to see how this kind of print was made.
Nicolaes de Bruyn (Antwerp, 1571 – Rotterdam, 1656) was a Flemish engraver, who after training in Antwerp was active in the Dutch Republic.
