Opwekking van Lazarus 1600

"Opwekking van Lazarus" (1600) is an etching by Lucas Kilian (1579–1637) depicting the biblical story of the raising of Lazarus, a man who was dead for four days before Jesus Christ miraculously restored him to life. Kilian's print captures the drama and emotion of the scene, with Jesus extending his hand toward Lazarus as Lazarus is pulled out of his tomb by those who buried him. The image also shows Mary and Martha, Lazarus's sisters, in the background. The etching is a fine example of Kilian's skills as a printmaker, with its detailed rendering of figures, drapery, and landscape.
