92 Pierre Mortier (1661–1711) – Biblical Engraving – Jesus Appears to Mary & Walks with Disciples to Emmaus – From Histoire du Vieux et du Nouveau Testament – Engraving (Early 18th Century)

This powerful engraving presents two scenes from the Gospel of John and the story of Emmaus: Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene after the Resurrection (John 20), who mistakes him for the gardener, and Jesus later joins two of his disciples on the road to Emmaus. The composition masterfully conveys the emotional intensity and spiritual wonder of these moments, rendered in dynamic Baroque style. The print is from Histoire du Vieux et du Nouveau Testament, published in Amsterdam in the early 1700s.

Pierre Mortier (1661–1711) was a French-born cartographer, publisher, and bookseller active in Amsterdam.

His Histoire du Vieux et du Nouveau Testament blended theological narrative with dramatic engravings, offering both educational value and visual grandeur.
