Légende

Supper at Emmaus, 1530-1540. This Supper at Emmaus is remarkable for the presence of a black Egyptian at Christ's right hand. After his Resurrection, Christ appeared to two disciples at an inn in the town of Emmaus (Luke 24). Depicted here is the moment just before they realize that the wise stranger who "breaks bread" with them is Christ. The innkeeper stands, while the disciples are identified by walking staffs. The biblical story does not note other companions. However, here they are joined by a black soldier, an Egyptian as identified by the characteristic red, woolly headdress. He leans towards Christ, apparently passing him a dish. As he is seated and a soldier, he cannot be a servant.
