About the piece

Created in 1888 by Juliaan De Vriendt, this Belgian academic painting depicts the moment Jesus is brought to the side of Jairus' daughter. The work is notable for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro, contrasting the luminous figure of Christ and the pale girl with the deep, atmospheric shadows of the mourning interior.
