Supper at Emmaus
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 17th century drawing by the renowned Flemish artist Abraham Jansz van Diepenbeeck. This masterpiece, created using pen and brown ink with gray wash on laid paper, is a striking depiction of a biblical scene from the New Testament. The scene unfolds at the table of Emmaus, where Jesus appears to two of his disciples, unrecognized, after his resurrection. The disciples, deeply engrossed in their meal, are unaware of the divine presence among them. Jesus breaks the bread, revealing his identity through a miraculous event. Van Diepenbeeck's interpretation of this story is both simple and profound. The artist expertly employs the use of black and white, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and contemplation. The disciples are depicted as ordinary men, seated around the table, their faces etched with concentration as they eat. Jesus, with a serene expression, reaches out to bless the bread. This beautiful drawing, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Flanders, is now part of the permanent collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. It invites viewers to reflect on the profound moments of recognition and revelation that occur when we open ourselves to the divine. The intricate details of the drawing, from the folds of the disciples' robes to the texture of the tablecloth, are rendered with remarkable precision using pen and ink. The gray wash adds depth and texture, bringing the scene to life. This is a work of art that invites us to slow down, to look closely, and to ponder the deeper meanings of the Christian faith. In summary, "Supper at Emmaus" is a powerful and evocative drawing by Abraham Jansz van Diepenbeeck, a masterpiece of Flemish art that continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its beauty and depth.
