The Supper at Emmaus is the title shared by several similar works by Titian, two of which are discussed here. The first, made about 1534, is currently on long-term loan to the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. The second, made about 1545 by Titian and his studio, is in the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin.

First version

[edit]

Georg Gronau considers this a replica of the Pilgrims of Emmaus in the Louvre.[1] From the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, the picture was preserved in the Ducal Palace, Venice, and belongs now to the Earl of Yarborough.[1] It is on long-term loan to the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.[2]
