This work is an intimate look at one of the pinnacle scenes in the Passion of the Christ. Walter L. Strauss quotes directly from the bible, a passage which Dürer has been able to illustrate with incredible detail and emotion:
And it came to pass, as he sat with them, he took bread and blessed it, and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight. (Luke 24:30-31)

Created in 1612, this original woodcut is monogrammed in the woodblock 'AD' in the lower left. This work is from the Italian edition of 1612 with Italian text on verso.
