EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Luca Giordano's masterpiece, "Dives and Lazarus" created in 1680. The painting, housed in the Birmingham Museum Art Gallery, beautifully captures a scene from Christianity's parable of Dives and Lazarus. The artwork depicts a lavish banquet where wealthy individuals indulge in food and wine at an exquisitely set dining table. Amidst this opulence, a beggar named Lazarus is seen sitting on the floor with his faithful dog by his side. His destitution contrasts starkly with the affluence surrounding him. Giordano masterfully portrays the emotions of each character through vivid colors and intricate details. The expressions on their faces convey various attitudes towards wealth, poverty, and spirituality. In this thought-provoking image, we witness not only the stark divide between rich and poor but also explore themes of compassion, greed, and redemption. It serves as a reminder to reflect upon our own actions towards those less fortunate than us. Luca Giordano's skillful brushwork brings this timeless story to life while offering viewers an opportunity for introspection into societal disparities that persist even today. This remarkable piece stands as a testament to Giordano's talent as an old master painter whose work continues to inspire generations of art enthusiasts worldwide.
