About the piece

This 1860 oil painting by Finnish artist Robert Wilhelm Ekman captures the biblical moment of the Raising of Lazarus. The composition employs a dramatic archway that frames the central figure of Christ against a luminous sky, using sharp contrast to highlight the emotional responses of the gathered witnesses and the miraculous emergence of Lazarus from his tomb.
