The Raising Of Lazarus c. 1610 - 1615

"The Raising of Lazarus" by Joachim Wtewael, painted around 1610-1615, depicts the biblical miracle of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. The painting features a dynamic composition, with figures gathered around the central event. The emotional intensity of the scene is conveyed through the expressive gestures and facial expressions of the characters. The artist uses rich colors and detailed brushwork to create a visually arresting and dramatic scene, highlighting the divine power of Jesus and the miracle of resurrection. This work exemplifies Wtewael's mastery of the Baroque style, which emphasized dramatic composition, emotional intensity, and a sense of theatricality.
