EDITORS COMMENTS
The Raising of Lazarus," a captivating masterpiece from the 16th century, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the collaborative efforts of the Masters of the Legend of the Magdalen, Lucas van Leyden, and Master of the Holy Blood. This evocative woodcut print, created between 1515 and 1520, portrays a pivotal moment from the Gospel of John (11:38-44), where Christ, accompanied by his disciples, raises Lazarus from the dead in the village of Bethany, located on the West Bank of Palestine. The image is rich in detail and symbolism. Christ, depicted as a bearded man with a serene expression, stands at the center, his right hand extended towards Lazarus, who lies in the open grave, wrapped in burial cloths. The bystanders, a group of men and women, are depicted with various reactions - some in awe, others in disbelief, and some in fear. The female figure at the left, identified as Martha, sister of Lazarus, is shown with her arms raised in supplication. The color palette of the print is muted, with earthy tones dominating the image, reflecting the somber mood of the scene. The contrast between the dark graves and the bright, ethereal light emanating from Christ creates a striking visual effect. The print is a beautiful example of the Flemish and Danish artistic traditions, with influences from the Master of Saint Sang and the Master of the Holy Blood. The Raising of Lazarus is a powerful reminder of the Christian belief in the resurrection and the power of faith. It is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the artistic and spiritual heritage of the past.
