Supper at Emmaus (Titian)

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