The Passion: The Raising of Lazarus is a 1508 by Urs Graf the Elder, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows a scene from the Bible where Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. It's interesting because woodcuts like this were popular in Europe during the 15th century. They were often hand-colored with watercolor, which was a quicker process than printing with color. This technique is similar to what you'd see if you looked up the work of artist Urs Graf the Elder.
