A Resurrection Feast: Caravaggio’s Supper at Emmaus
Saturday, April 26, 2025
Join St. Gregory’s Hall artist-in-residence Sarah Crow in her studio as she showcases her finished reconstruction of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio’s 1601 Supper at Emmaus from the National Gallery in London. This is the last chance to see this painting before it leaves her studio!
We will have a festive, Baroque-themed wine and cheese reception along with an artist’s talk. The talk will reveal the profound theological symbolism in Caravaggio’s Supper at Emmaus and explain the 17th-century materials and techniques used in the re-creation of this Baroque masterpiece. Period attire encouraged but not required.
Sarah Crow is a sacred artist who has mastered Baroque oil painting techniques (see her reproduction of Caravaggio’s Calling of Saint Matthew here). She is a former lecturer at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and currently the artist in residence at St. Gregory’s Hall where she maintains an active studio of both sacred art commissions and representational paintings.
