Emmaus: But their eyes were holden...
color woodcut, 16 3/4 x 22, 1983
This working proof of one of Wolff's most popular prints. The print
depicts one of the visions of Christ after his resurrection. Wolff portrayed
all three
of the visions of Christ after his resurrection. In this print two disciples
discover Christ is their companion on the road to Emmaus.
And, behold, two of them went that same
day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem
about threescore furlongs. And they talked together of
these things which had happened. And it came to pass, that,
while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself
drew near, and went with them. But their eyes were holden
that they should not know him. –- Luke 24: 13-16
