## Commentary

The Supper at Emmaus is set in a contemporary inn as in the famous composition of Caravaggio and thus it is genre-like. The foreground is composed as a still-life, its elements are typical in contemporary Spanish painting. The influence of Bassano can be clearly seen. However, the colours shows the Spanish &#39;tenebroso&#34; tint. Variants of similar quality are in Bilbao museum and in Madrid, private collection. Secularized variant of the same composition \(Christ is turned into a dice player\) is in Milá colletion, Barcelona.
