Description: | RU Signed and dated "Rembrandt f. 1654" CRE REMBRANDT, Harmensz van Rijn; (Dutch; 1606-1669) With the Descent from the Cross (GLAHA 364) this etching is part of a series of four large prints from the Life of Christ. It was at Emmaus that the resurrected Christ instituted the sacred meal, of bread and wine, known as the Eucharist. Rembrandt uses a combination of sunlight coming from outside the inn, and a spiritual light emanating from Christ to recreate this extraordinary event. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | JGGENERAL : BIBLE : NEW TESTAMENT : RESURRECTION : GOLDEN AGE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
