EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the title page of "Rich man Lazarus" by H. Hillers, published in 1698. This historical piece depicts the well-known biblical story of Lazarus and the rich man, presented through one major and five minor representations. The central image portrays the opulent feast of the wealthy Dives, while poor Lazarus languishes at his gate, with dogs licking his sores as a poignant symbol of his suffering (as described in Luke 16:19-31). Jan Luyken's artistic talent is evident in this etching on paper from Amsterdam, measuring 183 mm in height and 132 mm in width. The composition skillfully conveys the stark contrast between abundance and destitution, inviting viewers to reflect upon themes of wealth disparity and compassion. This print serves as a visual reminder of an age-old tale that continues to resonate today. It prompts us to consider our own attitudes towards material possessions and reminds us of our responsibility towards those less fortunate. As we gaze upon this powerful image, let it inspire empathy within us all - urging us to extend a helping hand to those who suffer around us.
