The Raising of Lazarus

John Baptist Jackson after Leandro Bassano

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a group of figures gathered around a central event. The figures are dressed in robes and are under an arched structure amidst trees and foliage. The scene appears to depict a moment of urgency or significance, with figures leaning in toward the center. The detailed rendering of the trees and architectural elements suggests a setting that is both outdoor and influenced by classical themes. This is in the style of Albrecht Dürer, emphasizing a strong use of contrast and line work.
