EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas masterpiece, titled "Supper at Emmaus" by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, dates back to the year 1606 and is a prime example of the Baroque art movement that emerged in Italy during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Caravaggio, born in 1573, was a revolutionary artist known for his innovative use of chiaroscuro, or strong contrasts between light and dark, to create dramatic and lifelike scenes. In this painting, Caravaggio depicts the biblical story of the resurrected Christ appearing to his disciples at the town of Emmaus. The scene is set in a dimly lit room, with the warm glow of a candle illuminating the table where Christ sits among the disciples. The use of color is rich and vibrant, with the red robes of the figures standing out against the dark background. The painting features several intriguing female figures, including the servant girl in the foreground who is turning to reveal Christ to the other disciples. Her expression is one of surprise and awe, as if she has just realized the true identity of the stranger at the table. The other women in the painting, including Mary Magdalene, are depicted with intense emotion and depth, adding to the overall sense of drama and intrigue. This artwork is currently housed in the Pinacotheca of Brera in Milan, Italy, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the Baroque period. The horizontal composition, combined with the use of strong contrasts and lifelike figures, make this painting a true masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
