EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Michelangelo's "Study of Lazarus and two Attendant Figures" a remarkable red chalk drawing on paper. Housed in the prestigious British Museum, London, this Italian masterpiece from the High Renaissance era depicts a miraculous scene from biblical times. The drawing portrays the moment when Jesus Christ raises Lazarus from the dead, surrounded by two attendant figures. With meticulous detail and skillful use of red chalk, Michelangelo captures the essence of this profound event. The lifeless corpse of Lazarus is depicted with haunting realism, while Jesus exudes divine power as he performs his miracle. This study delves into themes of death and resurrection, exploring both physical decay and spiritual rebirth. Through his masterful sketching technique, Michelangelo brings these concepts to life on paper. The inclusion of a leper among the attendant figures adds an intriguing layer to this composition. It symbolizes both human suffering and divine healing—a testament to Michelangelo's ability to convey complex emotions through art. Dating back to the 16th century Baroque period, this drawing exemplifies Michelangelo's genius as one of history's greatest artists. Its presence in modern times continues to inspire awe and admiration for its technical brilliance and profound subject matter. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time—to witness firsthand an iconic moment that has shaped religious beliefs for centuries.
