Christ Raises the Daughter of Jairus c. 1576 - 1580

This engraving by Léonard Gaultier, completed between 1576 and 1580, depicts the biblical story of Christ raising the daughter of Jairus. The scene is set in a domestic interior, with Jesus at the center, touching the hand of the young woman lying on a bed. The composition emphasizes the dramatic moment, with figures gathered around the bed, their expressions reflecting both fear and hope. The use of light and shadow contributes to the emotional intensity of the scene. This artwork is a fine example of Gaultier's talent as an engraver, showcasing his mastery of detail and his ability to convey narrative through visual means.
