Supper at Emmaus by CaravaggioLeave it to one of my favorite Baroque painters, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571 - 1610) to depict a resurrected, incognito, very human Jesus eating a meal in the town of Emmaus with his clueless disciples who fail to recognize him ... until they do. Then Christ vanishes. (Khan Academy analysis here of the painting). .png) |
Once again we celebrate hope, optimism, and human perseverance in a flawed, limited, and sometimes challenging world. But, spring is here -- days are getting longer and warmer, and life is good.✝️🐣

Happy Easter Debbie. I like Caravaggio too, what a superstar he was. Also a crazy guy, if you read his biography which I thoroughly enjoyed :)
ReplyDeleteWell, don't we have great tastes, you and I. :) I knew Caravaggio lived a troubled life. He had an explosive temper that resulted in the death of a man after a fight, causing Caravaggio to have to flee Rome as a fugitive. He may have been gay, which was considered a sin and another source of conflict in his day. Trish, what bio did you read? I'll try to find a copy.
