EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned engraving "Rich Man Table Parable Lazarus" by Heinrich Aldegrever, a German artist from Paderborn. Created in 1554, this masterpiece depicts the biblical parable of Dives and Lazarus with intricate detail and precision. At the center of the composition, we see a lavish dining table adorned with sumptuous delicacies. A rich man, known as Dives, is seated at this opulent table surrounded by a variety of figures gathered for an extravagant feast. The scene exudes wealth and luxury as men and women indulge in fine food and wine. However, amidst this abundance stands Lazarus, a poor beggar covered in sores. He sits outside the trellis-covered area where the rich man dines, symbolizing their stark contrast in social status. Despite his desperate state, Lazarus remains hopeful for even just a morsel from Dives' table. The engraving also includes other intriguing elements such as a woman bathing nearby while being serenaded by a flautist. In another corner of the image, we observe a figure undergoing bloodletting treatment while seated next to them is a servant bringing more food to satisfy the guests' appetites. Heinrich Aldegrever's attention to detail brings this parable to life through his masterful engraving technique. This remarkable artwork measures approximately 3 1/8 x 4 5/16 inches (109 cm) and
