As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as if he were going farther. But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.

JESUS' SUPPER
AT EMMAUS

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and happy Lord’s day to all.

Many ‘classic’ artists love this topic;

#3 Stom
#12 Velazquez
#17 Strozzi
#38 Bloch

A pleasant way to spend awhile, looking at Godly art; Thank You Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

My favorite Bible story, Leon. Jesus makes His suffering disciples wait for hours while He ministers to the two Emmaus fools. So He will make time, also, for you and me.

[etabeta]

Many inspired artists!
#1 Caravaggio!
#3 Stom
#5 Cavarozzi and the beautiful detail of Jesus
#19 Bigot
#26 Champaigne
#38 Bloch

“He will make time, also, for you and me.”

Yes He does Dan, incomprehensible though it is. How blessed we are indeed!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thank you, Alba. You have such exquisite taste.

[etabeta]

Thank you, Dan. You are always so very kind!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad you think so.

Thanks for posting. Number 18 by Paolo Veronese struck me with its inclusion of women and children. And looking it up if I found it described as someone’s family portrait intertwined with the biblical story Paolo seemed to like to do this in a lot of his works. And we’ve had the discussion here about the habit of some artists to put their patrons into the painting. His painting of The Last Supper with so many extraneous people finally put him in the sights of the Inquisition which accused him of blasphemy. He was ordered to correct the painting within three months. But he just changed the name to Feast at the House of Levi. Thanks again for both a religious education and an art history one.

[Hebrews 11:6]

But he just changed the name

LOL! As I always like saying, there's more than one way to skin a cat!

Thanks for your interesting report.

If you are a fellow fan of The Chosen, it seems certain that several women will be present at the depiction of The Last Supper: at a minimum, Mother Mary, the Magdalene, Eden, Ramah and Tamar; more expansively perhaps, Salome, Shula, Mary and Martha, Veronica, Joanna.... Taking a flier here: Abigail (with Joshua the Brave).

Hey, watch your language.
This is a public forum.

#38 knocks it out of the park
loooove that painting

#1 is also good because there is no glamour
artist is keeping it real

#26 gets honorable mention because it includes a cat

[Hebrews 11:6]

So glad you like cats. God created them, so someone has to.
