EDITORS COMMENTS
The Raising of Lazarus," painted by Jan Tengnagel in 1615, is a captivating Baroque masterpiece that brings the biblical story to life. This oil on wood painting, now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark), depicts the miraculous event as described in the Gospel of John (11:38-44). Set in the village of Bethany, located on the western bank of the Jordan River in Palestine, the scene unfolds in front of a golden mausoleum. At the center, Jesus Christ, dressed in rich robes and surrounded by an aura of divine light, raises his hand towards Lazarus, who lies dead in his burial shroud. The dead man's sisters, Mary and Martha, stand by, their faces a mix of shock, disbelief, and joy. The bystanders, a group of men and women from the community, gather around, their expressions ranging from awe and wonder to skepticism and fear. Some cover their faces in shock, while others look on with curiosity. In the background, Christ's disciple, Antiphonetes, holds a golden vase, likely used to anoint Lazarus after his resurrection. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this painting transport us back to the 17th century, a time when the Low Countries (now Belgium and the Netherlands) were at the forefront of artistic innovation. Tengnagel's masterful use of oil painting techniques brings the figures and their emotions to life, making this a must-see for art enthusiasts and those interested in the history of Christianity. This artwork, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Denmark and the Netherlands, is a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the miraculous stories that continue to inspire and captivate us.
