"Road to Emmaus" Robert Zünd "Road to Emmaus" by Robert Zünd (1826-1909). He was a painter who lived through the Industrial Revolution & into the 20th Century, but you wouldn't know it by looking at his paintings. They are all serene landscapes, with no machines, arranged in classical composition theory, a style harkening to the century before his. As he got older, he became more religious, & wove Biblical themes into his landscapes. in this one, we have Our Lord with the two travelers to Emmaus. "Are you the only man in Jerusalem who does not know of the things that have been going on?" Our favorite part of the story is when Jesus says, "What things?" :) What a gentle sense of humor he has. This is the resurrected Jesus playing with these guys. There is joy to it. He goes on to explain to them all the things that referred to him in scripture. Note how Zund has Jesus pointing to the light! Walk with us, Jesus! Teach us! (source: wikipedia.com) IMPORTANT THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a blank border all around the image of about .5" for 5x7, 1.3" for 8.5x11". The white space gives the framed picture a finished look without using a matt. We don't do larger sizes on this one because the print's a little soft & doesn't look good when it's big. The leaves don't show up. We're looking for a better copy with nice, crisp leaves! !- Acid-free paper - Archival pigments, rated to last for generations. - Cardboard backer - Above story of the art - Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal clear bag. Thanks for your interest! Thanks!
