Christ's Appearance to the two Disciples journeying to Emmaus is a 1835 oil by John Linnell, depicting Biblical Magi, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows three men walking together on a dirt path. The man in the middle is wearing a long, dark robe and has his right arm outstretched. The man on the left is dressed in a dark robe with a red sash, and the man on the right wears a light-colored tunic and a wide-brimmed hat. He is holding a staff in his left hand. The men are set against a backdrop of trees and rolling hills under a blue sky with white clouds. The overall atmosphere is one of calmness and serenity.
