" With meticulous detail and masterful technique characteristic of Rembrandt's style, he brings forth emotions that resonate across centuries – awe at witnessing life restored against all odds. Andrea Vicentino adds yet another layer to our understanding with his painting circa 1600 named "The Raising of Lazarus.
