Description

Spanish or Flemish school; 17th century. "The Resurrection of Lazarus". Oil on canvas. Relined. Measurements: 66 x 85 cm. In this work whose aesthetic follows the models of the master Rubens, the theme of the resurrection of Lazarus can be identified iconographically. In the Bible according to John 11: 1-44, Jesus receives a message that Lazarus is sick and his two sisters are looking for his help. Jesus tells his followers: "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God so that the Son of God may be glorified through it. "Jesus then delays his departure for two days. The disciples are afraid to return to Judea, but Jesus says, "Our friend Lazarus is asleep, but I am going to wake him up." When the apostles do not understand, he clarifies, "Lazarus is dead, and for your sake, I am glad I was not there so that you may believe." When they arrive in Bethany, Lazarus has been dead and buried for four days. Before they enter the town, Martha, Lazarus' sister, meets Jesus and says, "If you had been here, my brother would not have died." Jesus assures Martha that her brother will rise again and says, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even if he dies; and he who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" Martha's affirmation that she really believes: "Yes, Lord. I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world," is only the second time (after Nathanael) that someone declares Jesus to be the Son of God and the first time that someone compares him as 'Messiah' and 'Son of God' together. The only other time this happens in the whole Gospel is in the explanation the author of the Gospel gives for writing his Gospel at the end. Upon entering the village, Jesus meets Mary and the people who have come to comfort her. Seeing her pain and weeping, Jesus is deeply moved. After asking where he was buried, the shortest verse of the four Gospels is found and the scriptures say, Jesus wept. After that, Jesus asks that the stone be removed from the tomb, but Martha insists that there will be a smell. To which Jesus responds, "Didn't I tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?" Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you for listening to me. I knew that you always listen to me, but I said this for the benefit of the people who are here, so that they may believe that you sent me." When he had said this, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" Then he came out, Lazarus, with his hands and feet wrapped in strips of linen and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, "Take off your bandages and let him go.".
