Christ Crucified
Artist: Velázquez
1632
Painting
In this Spanish painting, Jesus’ pale complexion is contrasted against a dark background. Velázquez doesn’t focus on the agony of the cross. Instead, He paints Jesus unadorned, the only thing giving away His divine identity is the halo around His head.
this Baroque painting is housed in the Museo del Prado, Madrid.
Christ Disappearing at Emmaus
Artist: Henry Fuseli
1772
Painting
The painting shows Christ rising to the heavens after the disciples recognise him through the breaking of bread, an allusion to the eucharist, the Christian sacrament commemorating the last supper in which wine and bread are consecrated and consumed. This subject matter was popular in the retelling of one of the early resurrection scenes on the road to Emmaus and it followed an artistic theme tackled by the likes of Titian, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Caravaggio and Diego Velázquez.
This is an oil on canvas. It is housed at the Yale Center for British Art, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut
