Opwekking van Lazarus 1598 - 1618

Jacques de Bye's "Opwekking van Lazarus" is a 17th century etching that depicts the biblical scene of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus from the dead. The scene is rich with detail, featuring a crowd of figures gathered around the tomb. In the center, Jesus calls out to Lazarus, who is emerging from the tomb. The drama of the scene is heightened by the contrasting figures of the grieving mourners and the triumphant Jesus, a testament to the artist's masterful ability to capture emotion in print. The etching is a powerful visual representation of a central event in Christian belief.
