Caravaggio Supper at Emmaus – Resurrection Revelation in London
About the Artwork
Completed in 1601, Supper at Emmaus captures the moment the resurrected Christ reveals himself to two disciples during a meal. The startled gestures and expressions of the figures convey sudden recognition. Caravaggio’s mastery of light bathes the scene in dramatic contrast, while details such as a wicker basket and torn sleeve add everyday realism. Commissioned by a Roman patron, it now hangs in the National Gallery, London, where it remains one of the museum’s most celebrated works.
About The Artist
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610) was an Italian Baroque painter renowned for his revolutionary use of chiaroscuro, creating dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. Rejecting idealised figures, he painted with raw realism, using models from everyday life, often infusing religious subjects with intense emotion and physicality. His works, both celebrated and controversial, influenced generations of artists across Europe. Caravaggio’s turbulent life—marked by brawls, exile, and a mysterious death—mirrored the intensity of his art, leaving a legacy that reshaped Western painting.
