Friend of the Humble

Leon Augustin Lhermitte, 1892


Artists have tried to represent Jesus in what they perceived to be his natural surroundings. Such images may help us to understand the physical truth of the Incarnation and the Jesus who walked among us. This painting of the supper at Emmaus is important for this truth, as the resurrected Christ looked like an ordinary man.
