EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing artwork, titled "Raising of Lazarus (recto); Travelers with Cart Outside Inn (verso)" by an unknown artist, dates back to the late 17th or early 18th century. The recto side depicts a dramatic scene from the New Testament's Book of John, where Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. The figures are skillfully drawn in pen and black ink with brush and gray wash, with Christ at the center, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. The emotion and tension in the scene are palpable, making it a powerful and moving depiction of this biblical miracle. On the verso side, we find a completely different scene. Two men are shown outside an inn, one pushing a cart and the other leading a horse. The contrast between the two scenes is striking, highlighting the artist's versatility and ability to capture various aspects of life in this period. The use of chalk and black ink on cream wove paper adds to the antique feel of the artwork, transporting us back in time. The artist is believed to be either Castiglione Giovanni Benedetto or Grechetto Giovanni Benedetto, two Italian artists active during this time. This artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 17th and 18th centuries and the enduring power of art to capture the imagination and inspire awe. It is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate visitors and art enthusiasts alike.
