EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "The Death of the Rich and Lazarus" a remarkable 12th-century sculpture by Romanesque. Located in the Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, Vezelay, France, this masterpiece tells a profound biblical story. Intricately carved on a capital within the church of Vezelay, this sculpture depicts the poignant moment when death claims both Lazarus and his wealthy companion. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he skillfully conveys the contrasting emotions between these two individuals facing their final journey. The rich man's opulent attire and expression of despair stand in stark contrast to Lazarus' humble appearance and serene countenance. This thought-provoking juxtaposition invites viewers to reflect upon life's transience and question our priorities in wealth-driven societies. Pascal Lemaitre has expertly captured this ancient artwork through his lens, preserving its historical significance for generations to come. Lemaitre's keen eye for composition ensures that every intricate detail is showcased with utmost clarity. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary piece of artistry that transcends centuries.
