Placa con el viaje a Emaús y la aparición de Jesús a María Magdalena

ca. 1115–20
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 304
La placa ilustra dos relatos evangélicos de las apariciones de Jesús a sus discípulos después de la Resurrección. En la escena superior, Jesús, sin darse a conocer, se une a dos apóstoles que viajan de Jerusalén a Emaús. Ambos lamentan la Crucifixión, y Jesús explica su importancia. En la escena inferior, Jesús se aparece a María Magdalena, que lo confunde con un jardinero. Cuando Magdalena lo reconoce, Jesús le dice que no lo toque porque todavía no ha ascendido al cielo. Esta placa formaba parte de un conjunto, tal vez un relicario. Los ropajes arremolinados, cuerpos elongados y gestos de gran dramatismo muestran similitudes con otras obras creadas en la ciudad real de León, sita en la ruta del Camino de Santiago.
