INTRODUCTION

This painting is called "La cena en Emaus". The author of this painting is Caravaggio. The painting style is baroque, and Caravaggio painted it of year 1596-1602. The supper at Emmaus from London is contemporary San Juan Bautista, and is recognized as the custom of the Roman nobleman Ciriaco Mattei1 for which he paid 150 shields. It was later acquired by Cardinal Scipione Borghese. As was the case with other works of Caravaggio, it caused great controversy due to the form of a religious issue, forcing the author to paint a new version.



ANALYSIS

The technique that has been used in this painting is the oil and is a painted on canvas. The prospect that has is mostly linear. The light goes straight, mostly intensity leads in the heart, since Jesus is exited and the picture is of religious caractyer. Used a small variety of colors, the color that is used in this painting is the target, but also the red is used to highlight Jesus and dark colours in the garments. The composition of this work is symmetrical. The function of this picture is religious. The theme is the Bible, since this painting also can be called the disciples of Emmaus. The figures of this work are realistic, and looks that express emotions, also are naturalistic.

In this century usually both sculptures and paintings are trying to do with straight lines. To others that this painting was considered one of the masterpieces by Caravaggio and then Erwin Olaf, a photographer and filmmaker, he decided to do a series of performances related to this painting.

One of the paintings from this period is the portrait 2 by José Luis Morales and Marín Espasa Calpe, another painting is holy family of the bird by Murillo, another painting is the old woman cooking eggs by Caravaggio.


CONCLUSION

Before the baroque style that had was mannerism, and after the baroque style that came is the neoclassical. To me this painting I like it because the expressions of people looks good and is quite realistic for my.
