About the Artwork
Artist: Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669)
Date: 1642
Medium: Etching with drypoint on laid paper
Subject: The artwork depicts the biblical story of Jesus Christ raising Lazarus from the dead, as told in the Gospel of John, Chapter 11. Rembrandt created both a larger and a smaller version of this etching, as well as a painting of the same subject earlier in his career. The 1642 etching, seen in the image, is noted for portraying Christ as a healer, in a different composition from his earlier works on the same theme. |
