The Raising of Lazarus 1896

Eduard von Gebhardt's "The Raising of Lazarus" (1896) depicts the biblical event of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. The painting features a dramatic composition with Jesus at the center, his hand on Lazarus's head. A crowd of mourners surrounds the tomb, expressing a range of emotions including grief, fear, and awe. The scene is set in a graveyard, with tombstones and a wreath of flowers adding to the somber atmosphere. Gebhardt's meticulous detail and realistic style, common in late 19th-century European art, bring this powerful story to life.
