EDITORS COMMENTS
The Raising of Lazarus," a stunning 16th-century painting by Onufri, is a captivating masterpiece housed in the National Museum of Medieval Art in Korce, Albania. This post-Byzantine icon, painted by the renowned Albanian artist Onufri, depicts an episode from the New Testament of the Bible, as described in the Gospel of John (11:38-44). The scene unfolds in the village of Bethany, where Lazarus lies buried, having been dead for four days. Jesus and his disciples arrive, and Jesus commands, "Lazarus, come out!" The painting captures the dramatic moment as Lazarus emerges from his tomb, surrounded by a group of amazed onlookers. The crowd, including the sisters of Lazarus, Mary and Martha, and the disciples, are depicted in various stages of awe and disbelief. Jesus, the central figure, stands tall and resolute, his divine power on full display. His commanding presence is accentuated by the architectural backdrop of Neokastro, a fortress that looms in the background. The painting's rich colors and intricate details bring the biblical story to life, transporting viewers to a time and place far removed from our own. Onufri's "The Raising of Lazarus" is a testament to the power of religious art in the Middle Ages. It serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of the Bible and the role of art in preserving and sharing its stories across generations. This masterpiece continues to inspire and captivate audiences, making it a must-see for anyone visiting the National Museum of Medieval Art in Korce, Albania.
