THE RAISING OF LAZARUS.
Schr. 145. W.—D 26.
The scene is a field outside the walls of Bethany. The stone tomb of
Lazarus lies across the foreground. Lazarus, wrapped in grave-clothes,
sits in the middle of the tomb, with both hands raised and his eyes bent
on Jesus, who stands 1. near the foot of the tomb. A long scroll, passing
from the robe of Jesus across the front of the tomb, and partly liiding a
pickaxe and shovel, bears the inscription, 3SgO 6U1U VCSUlTCCttO Ct JjttA
CJttt CVCUtt ttt mc: Cttarn St ntorttttts fltcrtl tttttCL st. Peter leans over
the edge of the tomb towards Lazarus, looking back to Jesus. The eleven
other Apostles, distinguished like St. Peter by a plain nimbus, form a
group 1. behind the principal actors in the scene. To 1. of Jesus stands
St. Mary Magdalen; to r. of the group St. Martha, from whom proceeds
a scroll with the inscription, |3nC Pt ftltPPCP IjtC fl'atCV WtCttS ttO flttPSCt
mot'tttttS* The male saint who stands between Jesus and the Apostles,
wearing a peculiar nimbus similar to that of Martha and Mary, may be
St. Maximin, one of the 70 disciples, who, according to the legend,
accompanied Lazarus and his sisters to Provence. The other female saint
between Jesus and Martha may in that case be their handmaid, St.
Marcella. To r. near the head of the tomb is a group of Jews, both men
and women. One of the two foremost persons says to the other (on a
scroll), 32ccc quo tttoilo amahat Cttttt. In the r. upper corner the hand
of God, with a nimbus, issues from a cloud.
The folds of the drapery are rounded. There is no cross-hatching.
The border is single.
[268 X 193.] Good impression, but slightly worm-eaten and stained by water. No
