EDITORS COMMENTS
The Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man, painted by Domenico Fetti or Feti in 1618-28, captures a powerful biblical story that continues to resonate today. This oil on panel masterpiece, measuring 61.6x45.4 cm, is housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Also known as The Parable of Dives and Lazarus, this painting depicts the stark contrast between wealth and poverty, highlighting the consequences of greed and lack of compassion. The rich man depicted here callously ignores the beggar at his gate, symbolizing his indifference towards those less fortunate. However, as fate would have it, their roles are reversed after death. In a poignant twist of events, the rich man's lack of charity is punished while Lazarus finds solace in heaven. This parable serves as a timeless reminder that material possessions hold no value when compared to acts of kindness and generosity. Fetti's masterful use of color and composition brings this moral lesson to life with striking realism. From the intricate drapery adorning both figures to the dogs licking at Lazarus' sores and musicians playing nearby; every detail adds depth to this profound narrative. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries past, let us reflect on its enduring message: that true richness lies not in wealth but in our capacity for empathy and benevolence.
