The Supper at Emmaus

About this work

This etching shows a dimly lit room where three people sit at a table covered with bread and a pitcher. One man stands, pointing upward as if explaining something. Others look confused or doubtful. Outside the window, a cross is visible on a hill, and a figure on a ladder climbs toward it. The scene looks like a moment of revelation—maybe someone just recognized Jesus after his resurrection. The artist used fine lines to show the rough textures of clothes and the rough wall. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Castillo made prints like this.
