EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Rich Man and Lazarus" transports us back to biblical times, capturing a poignant moment from the New Testament. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases their remarkable attention to detail and skillful execution. The scene depicted is inspired by Jesus Christ's parable of the rich man and Lazarus. The image beautifully illustrates the stark contrast between wealth and poverty, as well as the consequences of one's actions in life. The rich man, adorned in luxurious garments, lounges comfortably while feasting at a lavish table. Meanwhile, Lazarus - a destitute beggar covered in sores - lies at his doorstep seeking solace. Through this powerful visual narrative, we are reminded of the timeless moral lesson conveyed by Jesus' teachings: that material possessions hold no value when compared to acts of compassion and kindness towards others. This particular engraving was originally created for The Churchmans Family Bible's edition of The New Testament around 1880. Its inclusion within this sacred text speaks volumes about its significance within religious art history. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this profound artwork today. As we gaze upon it, let us reflect on our own lives and consider how we can emulate empathy and generosity towards those less fortunate than ourselves – just as Jesus encouraged through his parables centuries ago.
