EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Death of the Rich Man and Lazarus Eadem Feria" captures a profound moment in time. The rich man lies on his deathbed, surrounded by grieving family and friends who mourn the loss of their loved one. In a haunting depiction, devils are seen carrying the soul of the wealthy man to hell, symbolizing his eternal damnation. Contrasting this somber scene is the background where an angel gracefully escorts the soul of Lazarus to heaven. This juxtaposition highlights the stark difference in fate between these two individuals - one condemned to suffer for eternity while the other finds solace in paradise. The intricate details within this engraving add depth and symbolism to its narrative. Each element corresponds with letters that form a legend in the margin, guiding viewers through this powerful visual story. Created by Johannes Wierix in Antwerp during 1593, this paper engraving measures 233mm high and 146mm wide. This thought-provoking artwork from Liszt Collection invites contemplation on themes such as wealth, mortality, and divine justice. It serves as a reminder that material possessions hold no value beyond our earthly existence and prompts us to reflect on how we live our lives with compassion towards others.
