Raising of Lazarus is a 1635 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a crowded scene with people gathered around a tomb. Some stand with hands clasped or raised, while others kneel or look upward. The figures are dressed in flowing robes, and the tomb’s lid is open, revealing a body inside. The background is dark and swirling, with a faint glow near the tomb. The title at the bottom says *Jesus quadriduanum Lazarum a mortuis suscitavit*, meaning "Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead." This is a biblical story about resurrection. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like Callot used acid to create these sharp, detailed lines.
