The Pilgrims at EmmausAfter Paolo Veronese
This 16th-c. oil painting depicts Christ revealing himself to two disciples after the Resurrection during a meal at Emmaus. Theatrical poses, sumptuous fabrics, and architectural depth echo Veronese’s Venetian style. The copy displayed in Versailles’ Salon de Mars reflects the enduring appeal of his vision of revelation as both sacred event and dramatic spectacle.
