Christus mit den Jüngern in Emmaus is a 1560 oil by Paolo Veronese, a Mannerism work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
This painting depicts a scene of Jesus and his disciples gathered around a table, with a woman and child in the background. The group is engaged in conversation, with Jesus at the center. The table is set with a white cloth, and various objects are placed on it, including a red fruit and a glass. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The figures are dressed in traditional clothing, and the setting appears to be a domestic interior. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation.
