EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving from "The Dore Bible illustree" by Gustave Dore, depicting the powerful and thought-provoking Parable of the Rich Man and the Beggar Lazarus. The intricate details of this engraving bring to life the stark contrast between wealth and poverty, privilege and suffering. In this scene, we witness a diseased beggar, Lazarus, who is depicted as frail and destitute. His tattered clothing hangs loosely on his emaciated frame as he leans on a walking stick for support. On the other side of the composition stands a rich man surrounded by opulence—a symbol of nobility in society. He feasts lavishly with food overflowing from his table while holding a jug filled with drink. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the injustices that exist within our world—where wealth often leads to excess while others suffer in poverty. It highlights themes of religion, morals, and opposition to such disparities. Through masterful engraving techniques, Stefano Bianchetti captures not only the physical differences between these two characters but also their contrasting states of health and well-being. This evocative artwork invites viewers to reflect upon their own attitudes towards wealth distribution and compassion for those less fortunate. "The Parable of the Rich Man and the Beggar Lazarus" continues to resonate today as it did when first told in biblical times—an enduring testament to human nature's struggle with greed versus empathy.
