"Supper at Emmaus" (Supper at Emmaus) is actually the work of the Italian Baroque painter Caravaggio, named Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio .

"The Supper at Emmaus" is a religious painting from 1601 that depicts the biblical moment of Jesus meeting two of his disciples on the way to the village of Emmaus.

In the painting you can see a scene where Jesus, after his resurrection, sits down to dinner with two disciples. Jesus is shown in the background and with him is a hot bread. Illuminatingly, one of the disciples still does not know who he is, while the other disciple points to Jesus with a hint of knowledge.

Caravaggio used light and shadow to create a dramatic effect. The dark background emphasizes the illuminated figure of Jesus and the bread on the table, which draws the viewer's attention. Caravaggio was known for his ability to capture dramatic moments and convey emotion through light and shadow.

Caravaggio (Merisi Michalengelo) (1571-1610). Italian Baroque painter, who in his short life was significantly influenced by Baroque painting. Born to a family of architects in Caravaggio, he was an unwary adventurer who liked teasing and toying with fate. In his early works, he preferred realism. He worked with light and shadow, combining natural and architectural elements. He captured dramatic scenes (and his images are very sensational) by utilising hyperrealism and an impressive use of light and shadow. An intense light side, which he started using, helped him add intensity to colours and link the composition into one unit. Light, intense colours, and choice of motifs (often with the presence of death) are the cornerstones of his work, which indelibly influenced the history of art.
