EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 17th century depicts the powerful Parable of the rich man and Lazarus the beggar, as told in Luke 16 of the Bible. Created by an unidentified European School artist, this print is part of a series that was possibly published by Pierre Mariette in Paris. The scene portrays two contrasting figures: a wealthy man dressed in opulent attire and a destitute beggar named Lazarus. The rich man is shown surrounded by material wealth, while Lazarus lies at his doorstep, covered in sores and seeking solace. A faithful collie dog stands guard nearby, symbolizing loyalty amidst human suffering. This artwork explores themes of social inequality and compassion found within Christian teachings. It serves as a reminder to prioritize kindness towards others over worldly possessions. The parable emphasizes that earthly riches hold no value when compared to spiritual wealth and eternal salvation. Through intricate engravings, this piece brings to life biblical characters such as Jesus Christ himself, who plays a significant role throughout the New Testament. This portrayal adds depth to our understanding of Jesus' teachings on love for one's neighbor and caring for those less fortunate. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from centuries past, we are reminded of timeless Christian values that continue to guide believers today – faith, belief, compassion – all beautifully captured through skilled engraving techniques.
