From the collection of Los Angeles County Museum of Art
The Raising of Lazarus is a 1711 unspecified by Jean Jouvenet, a French Classical Baroque work, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a dramatic scene with Jesus standing in the center, surrounded by a crowd of people. He is dressed in a blue robe with a red sash and has his right arm outstretched towards a man lying on the ground. The man, Lazarus, is wrapped in a white cloth, and his face is pale. The crowd is dressed in various colors, with some people looking on in shock and others reaching out to Jesus. In the background, there are large rocks and a building, which adds depth to the scene. The overall mood of the painting is one of reverence and awe, as the crowd gathers around Jesus as he performs a miracle. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of drama and highlights the central figures of Jesus and Lazarus. To learn more about this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
