Intriguing and thought-provoking, this sculpture tells the story from Luke 16:19-31 where Jesus shares the parable of Lazarus and a rich man.

Pascal Lemaitre's expert photography allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind "The Death of Rich and Lazarus" but also its historical significance within religious art. This image serves as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries while reminding us of timeless moral lessons that transcend generations.
