The Raising of Lazarus

Guglielmo Cortese after Tintoretto

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of multiple figures interacting in an architectural setting. The composition is crowded and chaotic, with figures in various poses. The exaggerated postures and expressions of the figures create a sense of intensity. The drawing uses a monochrome palette of detailed lines and shading to create depth and texture. The lines are dynamic, enhancing the emotions in the composition. The visual style is reminiscent of mannerist art, known for elongated proportions and vivid expressions.
