The Strangest Painting of Jesus

There are thousands of paintings of Jesus in the history of art. But none of them look like this one. His dark, fixed eyes stare directly at us. His figure is blurred, wrapped in a luminous haze, as if we were looking at an apparition. And in the corner of the scene, three figures dressed in nineteenth-century clothes watch the miracle in silence. What very few people know is who those three people really are, and why the artist decided to hide them inside this biblical scene. In this video we explore the strangest painting of Jesus ever created, the story of the artist behind it, and the personal secret he left within it. ► Shop Christ and the Disciples at Emmaus (1896-97) at - https://www.inspiraggio.com/products/christ-and-the-disciples-at-emmaus-pascal-dagnan-bouveret-1896-97 ► Shop Art Prints & Canvas at - https://www.inspiraggio.com/collections/shop-all ► Shop Fine Art Phone Cases at - https://www.inspiraggio.com/collections/iphone-cases → Join our FREE newsletter: https://www.inspiraggio.com/pages/newsletter → Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inspiraggio → Contact: [email protected] 0:00 Introduction 1:15 Supper at Emmaus 2:21 Analysis 4:10 The Three Figures 5:22 Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret 6:46 Reception SOURCES Gallery 19c — "Self-Portrait with His Wife and Son, Study for Christ and His Disciples at Emmaus" https://www.gallery19c.com/artworks/9548/ Gallery 19c — Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret, Overview https://www.gallery19c.com/artists/197-pascal-adolphe-jean-dagnan-bouveret/overview/ The Eclectic Light Company — "Painting and Photography: the work of Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret" https://eclecticlight.co/2018/02/14/painting-and-photography-the-work-of-pascal-dagnan-bouveret-2/ The Eclectic Light Company — "Paintings of the Harrowing of Hell and the Supper at Emmaus" https://eclecticlight.co/2024/03/31/paintings-of-the-harrowing-of-hell-and-the-supper-at-emmaus/ Carnegie Museum of Art — Christ and the Disciples at Emmaus https://collection.cmoa.org/objects/33e6a473-3358-4d47-adb2-e8ff7ec5f611 Wikipedia — Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_Dagnan-Bouveret #arthistory #art Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education, and research.
