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.
