MARCO MARZIALE (From) Active in Venice from 1493 to 1507 The Emmaus Meal Oil on canvas (Rentokilage) Bottom right in a MARCHUS / MARZIALIS / VENETUS / MXVI cartridge H. 118 - W. 141.5 cm Probably a 17th-century revival of the composition, of the same dimensions (canvas; 119 x 143 cm) from the Berlin Museum (1507), the latter taking up with important variations, notably in the presence of the landscape visible behind Christ, the earlier version (1506) from the Museum of the Academy of Venice (canvas; 122 x 141 cm) located in an inn (Giovanna Nepi Scirè, Les Galeries de l'Accademia de Venise, no. 12, p.193 - Electa 1998). As in the Berlin painting, the painter's name is placed in a small cartouche with a white background fixed on the apparent foot of the pilgrim's seat on the right.
