EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Lazarus at the House of the Rich Man" transports us to 17th century China. Created by an unknown Chinese artist from the Jinjiang Church in Fujian Province, this artwork is a plate from Giulio Aleni's "Tianzhu jiangsheng zhuxiang jingjie" (An Illustrated History of the Lord of Heaven Who Became Incarnate in the Flesh). The scene depicted here is taken from a biblical story found in the New Testament. It showcases Lazarus, a figure central to Christian teachings, dining at the opulent house of a wealthy man. The composition beautifully captures both religious and cultural elements as figures engage in feasting and conversation. Giulio Aleni, an Italian Jesuit missionary and scholar who published numerous works during his time in China, likely played a significant role in bringing this fusion of Eastern and Western artistic styles together. Measuring 16.8x14.5 cm, this woodblock print now resides within the collection of Minneapolis Institute of Arts after being gifted by Herschel V. Jones in 1925. Through its intricate details and vibrant colors, this artwork not only serves as a visual representation of Christianity but also highlights cultural exchange between East and West during that period.
