EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the Book of Hours of Louis d Orleans, created in 1469 by the talented artist Jean Colombe. The image depicts the biblical story of the Raising of Lazarus, beautifully rendered on vellum. In this illuminated manuscript illustration for the Office of the Dead, we witness an awe-inspiring miracle unfold before our eyes. Mary and Jesus Christ stand at the entrance of a tomb where Lazarus lays lifeless. With profound faith and divine power, Jesus commands Lazarus to rise from his grave. The exquisite details captured in this artwork transport us back to medieval times. We can almost feel Elizabeth's anticipation as she watches her beloved brother being resurrected. The shroud that once covered Lazarus now lies discarded beside him, symbolizing his liberation from death's grip. Colombe's masterful use of illumination brings depth and vibrancy to every element within this composition. From intricately designed tombs and crypts to delicate tombstones and gravestones, each detail tells its own story. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded not only of the miraculous event it portrays but also of humanity's enduring fascination with life after death. It serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and spiritual devotion that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
