OriginalSupper at Emmaus (1601) by Caravaggio is an unusual treatment of the moment Christ breaks bread and reveals his identity after crucifixion. He is, against tradition, beardless, and Caravaggio placed great emphasis on the still life on the table. For all that, the focus is very much on Christ, and the outstretched arm of the shell-wearing pilgrim Cleopas, and the open space at the table draw the viewer into the canvas to become part of the tableau, while all eyes, and all the movement of the lines created by arms and shadows all focus the attention on Christ.
