"Road to Emmaus" by Robert Zünd (1826-1909). He was a painter who lived through the Industrial Revolution and 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, and 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, 1.6" for 11x14. We do not offer this in larger sizes because our current file copy of this print is just not detailed enough to make a good product. The figures are sharp, but the leaves are not.
- Acid-free paper
- Archival pigments, rated to last for generations.

This was my first purchase from Catholic Art & Jewelry and I am very impressed with how quickly they shipped and the quality of the prints and artwork. I love the size of this little print. I purchased this to sit in front of my computer screen while I am working. It reminds me that Jesus, though I may not always recognize Him, is always walking with me, guiding me along the path of life.
Came to Australia so quickly and I’m such good condition. They are a beautiful addition to our home.
Beautiful!
My fault. I didn’t read the disclaimer. Ordered and paid for a larger size 11x14 but the photo is still tiny. Useless for what I needed.
Very nice item. I should have ordered larger.
It was easy to order online. And it was processed very quickly! Arrived a day early. And the print is beautiful!
I wanted the 5x7 to show the whole picture. I didn’t know it was framed with a matte making it much smaller.😩. It’s for an elderly lady that would want it bigger
Excellent buying experience. The picture and frame are very nice. Thank you for the quality.
Wonderful quality! Thank you. Excellent service and delivery. Purchased this for my wife’s birthday.
