The Raising of Lazarus is a 1545 ink by Augustin Hirschvogel, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this etching, a group of people are gathered around a man who has just been raised from the dead. The man, Lazarus, is standing in the center of the image, wearing a long robe and holding his hand to his mouth. He is surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, who are all dressed in clothing from the Renaissance period. The scene is set in a landscape with trees and hills in the background. The overall mood of the image is one of wonder and awe, as the people in the crowd look on in amazement at the miracle that has just occurred.
