EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Parable of the Rich Man and the Beggar Lazarus" painted by Frans Francken in 1615. The artwork, found in the esteemed collection of Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava, beautifully captures the essence of this biblical parable. In this Baroque masterpiece, Francken skillfully depicts the stark contrast between abundance and poverty. The opulence and wealthiness of the rich man are symbolized by a cornucopia overflowing with riches, while Lazurus, a beggar lying at his doorstep, represents destitution and suffering. Through this painting, Francken explores themes of greed, humanity's inhumanity towards one another, and justice as ordained by God. It serves as a powerful reminder that material prosperity does not equate to spiritual richness or moral righteousness. "The Parable of the Rich Man and the Beggar Lazarus" is an embodiment of Christian teachings from the New Testament. It narrates Jesus Christ's story about Dives (the rich man) who ignores Lazarus' plea for help during their earthly lives but faces eternal consequences after death. Francken's mastery lies not only in his technical skill but also in his ability to evoke deep contemplation on societal disparities and individual responsibility. This fine art image continues to resonate today as it prompts us to reflect on our own attitudes towards wealth distribution and compassion for those less fortunate. As we gaze upon this remarkable painting, we are reminded that true prosperity lies not in material possessions but
