Christ revelation to his followers at Emmaus that he had risen from the dead was the subject that most appealed to Rembrandt from the death and after-death of Christ. His mysterious evocations of that scene were among the most influential in his work. In the 1660s, a pupil like Gerbrand van den Eeckhout transformed a Rembrandt Christ at Emmaus of 1648 into a Last Supper of his own. | |
