Evanesce
To evanesce is to disappear gradually; vanish; fade away.
After his resurrection, two men recognized Jesus after eating with him in Emmaus. Shortly after "their eyes were opened", Jesus evanesced. (Luke 24:31)
Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight. (Luke 24:31, NASB)
Note: This is the most famous of Rembrandt (1606-1669)’s works on Emmaus. Rembrandt had painted the supper in Emmaus before, in 1628. This work comes from 1648.
