depicts the scene of Jesus appearing in front of his two disciples in the town of Emmaus after his resurrection for only a moment and then disappearing. This scene comes from the story of the Gospel of Mark. The painter has a talent for using techniques that draw attention to the picture so that the painting brings the scene from the story to life. The painter created another painting of the same name in Milan in 1606. The second work uses more obvious dark tones and soft shadows to present a cold feeling. In contrast, in addition to the stronger contrast in technique, the food on the table in this painting is also obviously different. In the first painting, in addition to bread, poultry and fruits, there is wine and water in glass bottles on the table. In the second painting, due to the change of the artist's own living environment, the food on the table has also become simple.
The food in this painting generally has hidden representative meanings. For example, the water in the glass bottle symbolizes the teachings of Jesus, the wine symbolizes the blood of Jesus, and the bread obviously refers to the body of Jesus. Bread appears clearly in both paintings, and based on the fact that Jesus only appears for a moment and then disappears in the background of the story, and in the paintings Jesus points to the bread and prays, it can be considered that the bread is a symbol of Jesus' identity.
