The art of making dioramas with flameworked glass figures originated (like faience) in Italy and spread to France in the 16th century. The first and most famous centre was Nevers in central France, but important workshops were also set up elsewhere.
The glass figures made in Nevers, from the late 16th upto the early 19th Century, have been mistaken for fine porcelain but were made of flameworked glass rods and tubes. The subjects can be religious, mythological, historical, allegorical, or anecdotal.

Comparable dioramas can be found in the collections of the Muse municipal Frdric Blandin in Nevers (inv. no. NOA 998.3.2) and the Coring Museum of Glass in New York (inv. no. 2002.3.22).
The Boston Museum of fine Arts.

The supper, held in an inn at the village of Emmaus, near Jerusalem, was one of the occasions when Jesus revealed himself to his followers after his Crucifixion and Resurrection. One of the two disciples was called Cleophas the other is unnamed, but because the story is only told in Lukes gospel, he is traditionally identified as St. Luke, despite the fact that Luke lived many decades after Christs Crucifixion.
