The Raising of Lazarus is a story from the New Testament, recorded in the Gospel of John (John 11:1-45). According to the story, Lazarus, a friend of Jesus, had fallen ill and died. When Jesus arrived in Bethany four days after Lazarus' death, he was approached by Lazarus' sisters, Mary and Martha, who told him of their brother's death and asked him to come to their home to heal him.
When Jesus arrived at the tomb where Lazarus was buried, he commanded that the stone be removed, and then he prayed to God. After his prayer, he called out to Lazarus, who came back to life and stepped out of the tomb. The raising of Lazarus was a significant event in the life of Jesus and was seen as a powerful demonstration of his divine power and the fulfillment of his mission as the Son of God. The scene is often shown with Jesus standing at the tomb, with Lazarus rising from the dead, with Mary and Martha looking on in amazement.
Duccio di Buoninsegna (c.1255–1260–c.1318–1319) was an Italian painter of the late medieval and early Renaissance periods. He is considered one of the most influential artists of the Sienese school, a style of painting that emerged in Siena, Italy, during the 13th and 14th centuries. Duccio's exact birth and death dates are not well-documented, but he is believed to have been born around 1255 in Siena. He was active as a painter during the late 13th and early 14th centuries. Duccio's style marked a transition from the stylized Byzantine art that was prevalent in Italy during the Middle Ages to the more naturalistic and expressive forms of the Renaissance. One of Duccio's most famous works is the "Maestà" (1308-1311), a large altarpiece created for the Siena Cathedral. The Maestà depicts the Virgin and Child enthroned, surrounded by angels and saints. It is known for its intricate details, rich color palette, and a sense of spirituality. The reverse side of the Maestà features scenes from the life of Christ. Duccio's contributions to the development of Sienese painting and the transition to the Renaissance were significant. His work laid the foundation for later artists, and his influence can be seen in the art of subsequent generations in Siena and beyond.
