The Raising of Lazarus is a 1310 tempera by Duccio di Buoninsegna, a Byzantine icon painting work, depicting Raising of Lazarus, held at Kimbell Art Museum.
This painting depicts a scene from the Bible, specifically the raising of Lazarus. A crowd of people in colorful robes surrounds a figure emerging from a tomb. The figure is wrapped in white cloth, and the tomb is a dark, gothic-style structure. In the background, a yellow sky with two trees is visible. The artist's use of tempera paint creates a sense of depth and texture in the scene. The colors are muted, with shades of red, blue, and green dominating the palette. The overall mood of the painting is one of solemnity and reverence. To learn more about the artist's use of tempera, look up the technique: tempera.
