EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from a stained glass window depicting the parable of Lazarus and Dives. Created by the French School in the 13th century, this masterpiece can be found at Saint-Etienne Cathedral in Bourges, France. The scene depicted is none other than the famous parable of The Rich Man and the Beggar Lazarus. This biblical story explores themes of wealth, poverty, and divine justice. In this particular image, we witness an intricate portrayal of heaven, judgment, and the afterlife. The vibrant colors and delicate details bring to life various elements such as mourning figures surrounding a death bed, demons lurking in anticipation of their next victim's demise, and mourners grieving over a lifeless corpse. Amidst all this chaos stands Lazarus' soul ascending towards heavenly realms. The Gothic style employed in this artwork adds an ethereal touch to its overall composition. It showcases not only devils but also demon-like creatures that symbolize evil forces awaiting those who have led sinful lives. This photograph serves as a testament to both the artistic brilliance of medieval stained glass craftsmanship and its ability to convey profound religious narratives. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back through time to contemplate our own mortality while pondering concepts like redemption and salvation.
