The Raising of Lazarus: the larger plate
This powerful etching and engraving by Rembrandt depicts the biblical miracle of Christ raising Lazarus from the dead, rendered in the artist's characteristically dramatic style with bold contrasts of light and shadow. Created around 1632, this impression represents the eighth state of nine, printed on buff laid paper and showing the natural patina of age and use. The composition exemplifies Rembrandt's mastery of the printmaking medium, combining precise engraving with expressive etching to create a scene charged with spiritual intensity and emotional movement.
