Dinner at Emmaus by Tician Vecellio

Dinner at Emmaus by Tician Vecellio

The first owners of the painting were the Maffei family from Verona, where Titian painted the altarpiece for the Cathedral. Indeed, Titian may have lent the bright orange-and-yellow costume of the page from the same-placed pupil at his own Moretto Dinner in Emmaus around 1526, which originally hung in the church of St. Luke in Brescia and now in the Tosio-Martinegro Museum.

A disciple in a green suit that is deflected back is projected onto Judas at the Last Supper of Leonardo. The still life realism is also somewhat in Lombard taste and anticipates not so much the work of Caravaggio, but rather the sacred realism of Zurbaran.
