Easter Monday 2016



The Resurrected Jesus in all His Glory


In Emmaus, at supper,  the risen Jesus explains to His astonished disciples what happened over the past few days.  He had walked with them unrecognized over the course of the afternoon 
(Rembrandt, 1648)
The image of Jesus in all His glory is not credited but I obtained it from the source listed below.

Jesus eating supper with his disciples in Emmaus, after His Resurrection is by Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669). He was a Dutch painter and etcher. He is generally considered one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art and the most important in Dutch history.[3] His contributions to art came in a period of great wealth and cultural achievement that historians call the Dutch Golden Age when Dutch Golden Age painting, although in many ways antithetical to the Baroque style that dominated Europe, was extremely prolific and innovative, and gave rise to important new genres in painting.
