The Passion: The Raising of Lazarus

Urs Graf the Elder

Cleveland Museum of Art

A black and white woodcut on aged paper depicts a biblical scene. The image shows Jesus Christ standing at the entrance of a cave or tomb with a crowd of onlookers. He is raising a man from a stone coffin. The man is wrapped in a shroud and appears to be deceased. A woman to the right of the stone coffin is on her hands and knees facing the coffin. A man in a white robe with a staff stands on the left and points toward Jesus. A large crowd of people surrounds them. A town with mountains in the background is visible. The title "The Passion: The Raising of Lazarus" and the artist "Urs Graf the Elder" are associated with the image.
