EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century artwork, titled "The Raising of Lazarus," is a masterpiece by the Italian artist Francesco Fontebasso. Created using pen and brown ink, brush and brown ink, and brown wash heightened with white on prepared laid paper, this drawing brings to life one of the most iconic biblical scenes from the New Testament. The scene depicts Jesus Christ, portrayed as the central figure with an air of authority and serenity, raising Lazarus from the dead. Lazarus, depicted as a brown-skinned figure lying on a bed, is shown with his eyes wide open in surprise and gratitude as he is brought back to life. The other figures in the drawing, including Martha and Mary, are shown in various stages of emotion, from shock and awe to joy and relief. This beautiful drawing is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural heritage of the 18th century. It is a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture and convey the profound and miraculous moments of our shared human story. This work of art is currently on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. Francesco Fontebasso, an Italian artist active in the 18th century, is known for his masterful use of ink and brush to create intricately detailed and expressive drawings. This particular work is a prime example of his skill and artistic vision. The drawing's black and white palette adds to its timeless and evocative quality, transporting viewers back to a bygone era and inviting them to contemplate the deeper meaning and significance of this biblical story.
