About the artwork

Two disciples suddenly recognize the resurrected Christ as he breaks bread. Around his head, Rembrandt used only fine engraved lines of varying density to create a burst of light—pure linework, no shading. Elsewhere, dense cross-hatching and varied line weight build deep shadow and dramatic chiaroscuro.
