Rembrandt delighted in varying the extent to which he worked out a scene. In some instances, this was very detailed, almost painterly, and in others he limited himself to little more than outlines. Here Christ appears to the apostles after his resurrection. The minimal elaboration reinforces the impression of a momentous event bathed in heavenly light.
