EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century wood engraving, titled "DORÉ: ST. LAZARUS BEGGING" transports us to a scene from the New Testament. The print depicts Saint Lazarus, a beggar, standing at the gate of Dives' house as described in Luke 16:20-21. Created by Gustave Doré, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent for capturing intricate details and evoking emotions through his engravings. The composition portrays an exterior view of Dives' opulent residence with its grand staircase and impressive architecture. In stark contrast to the luxurious surroundings, we see Lazarus clad in tattered clothing, carrying a cane due to his illness - leprosy. His weathered face and long beard reflect the hardships he has endured. Lazarus pleads for assistance while holding out a container for alms; however, it is not just humans who are present in this scene. A loyal dog stands beside him, symbolizing loyalty even amidst suffering. This image serves as a poignant reminder of compassion and empathy within Christianity. It highlights the stark divide between wealth and poverty while emphasizing the importance of helping those less fortunate. As we gaze upon this historic engraving from The Granger Collection's archives, we are transported back in time to witness Saint Lazarus' plea for aid at Dives' gate—a powerful testament to humanity's duty towards one another regardless of social status or background.
