1874
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Copy after The Raising of Lazarus attributed to Buonamico di Martino called Buffamalco in the Lower Church of San Francesco (Assisi) is a 1874 watercolor by buffalmacco, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a group of people in a landscape with rolling hills and trees. One man in a blue robe stands out, pointing toward another figure wrapped in cloths. Around them, others react—some kneel, some gesture, and one person looks upward. The colors are soft, with earthy tones and bright halos around a few heads. The scene is based on a biblical story, but the artist used a calm, almost dreamy style. The painting was made later as a copy of an older fresco, but it keeps the same quiet drama.

A watercolour depicting a mountain landscape includes a gathering of figures on the left positioned behind Christ, with two women kneeling before him. On the right, a group of men supports a wrapped figure, likely Lazarus, and most figures in the scene are shown with halos. The work is a 19th-century copy made by Edward Kaiser in 1874 for the Arundel Society, later acquired by a museum in 1995 from the National Gallery of London.
