The Raising of Lazarus: The Larger Plate Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn

A fine, strong lifetime impression of New Hollstein's fifth state (of nine) with the two reworked figures below the outstretched arm of the standing man. The mouth of the woman standing below is almost closed and her hair is now curly. Before the revisions to the tomb and on the back of the woman bent forward at the lower right. Narrow margins around the platemark. In this depiction of the biblical scene, Christ raises the dead Lazarus from his tomb. The composition is dramatic: Christ stands elevated beside the grave, his hand outstretched in a commanding gesture of resurrection. Around him, a group of figures recoil in fear and awe, their expressions and movements caught between terror and wonder. Lazarus, only just returned from death, begins to rise from the darkness of the tomb. The etching reveals Rembrandt’s masterful use of light and shadow, and his extraordinary ability to convey emotional intensity through a tightly composed theatrical scene. – Small pale spots in the upper left corner. A vertical, closed tear in the lower edge. Smoothed vertical and horizontal creases, some of which have been discreetly repaired. A few inconspicuous brown spots; otherwise in good condition. | 1606 Leiden - Amsterdam 1669 | 15.-18. Jahrhundert | Druckgrafik | Nummer: 26x1287 | Provenance: Verso with an unidentified collector's stamp (not in Lugt).
