The Supper at Emmaus (c.1622) Velázquez. Velázquez was in his early 20s when he painted his interpretation of two men encountering the risen Christ. The overall tone of the painting is much more restrained when compared with Caravaggio’s version of the same subject. The gesturing man has his back completed turned away from us; we are not being invited into the painting but rather being asked to simply observe and reflect.
