The Supper at Emmaus by Caravaggio is an amazing painting. When I first saw it I was amazed by the color. The red in the shirt really stands out, and the shadowing of all the men is done perfect. The way that Caravaggio uses light and dark and shading makes the painting look like a photograph. Everything in the painting is done so well. The fruits on the table are each individually shaded and cast their own shadow on the table. The men's skin have a very distinct texture that makes them look very realistic. Overall I have always been impressed by this picture because of how real it looks. The colors are done very well also and the shading is perfect.
