Lazarus en de rijke man 1677 - 1702

This anonymous Dutch print entitled *Lazarus en de rijke man* (c. 1677 - 1702), which depicts a scene from the Gospel of Luke, is a vivid example of 17th-century religious art. The print illustrates the story of Lazarus and the rich man, showing the wealthy man in a grand banquet while Lazarus, covered in sores, lies at his feet. The print highlights the contrast between the two, emphasizing the dangers of worldly wealth and the importance of charity. The use of rich detail and intricate composition reflects the print's Baroque style. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, remains a powerful and moving reminder of the dangers of greed and the importance of humility.
