Description
This is a reproduction of Rembrandt’s “The Raising of Lazarus” of 1631. The painting shows the moment Lazarus re-awakens from death and rises from his tomb as Christ calls him. Lazarus is in the darker half of the painting while the figures at left are far more illuminated than he. Mary and those assembled look on in amazement as Lazarus comes to life. The painting depicts a parable of spiritual life, the miracle of the hardened sinner receiving first grace (sorrow for sins committed in order to seek penitence and redemption). Rembrandt used chiaroscuro (contrasts of light and dark) in this painting, with the dark interior of the burial cave and the limited torchlight focusing the attention of the viewer and giving the figures impact. This is one of relatively few religious subjects from the New Testament that Rembrandt painted, though there are many such prints. He had been discovered six years before and had moved to Amsterdam in 1631. He had married the year before the paintingand Rembrandt took on his first pupils. In the year of this painting he moved into his prominent house in an upscale district. Later in the next decade after his wife died, he began an affair with their maid whom Rembrandt married after their daughter was born. In the next decade his fortunes declined and in 1660 he was forced to sell his home. He was a few years away from bankruptcy as his years of living beyond his means were finally catching up with him. This was the beginning of the poverty which haunted him until his death in 1669. The original is an oil on panel and measure 96.36 by 81.28 centimeters and is in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
