EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork "Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man" by David Teniers the Younger. Painted with oil on copper, this masterpiece measures 39x51 cm and is housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Dunkirk, France. The painting depicts a powerful biblical story told by Jesus in the Gospel of St. Luke - Lazarus and Dives. The rich man, portrayed as greedy and self-absorbed, is sent to hell for callously ignoring a beggar with sores at his gate. In contrast, Lazarus, depicted as a poor leper accompanied by dogs licking his wounds, is rewarded with entry into heaven. The composition beautifully captures two contrasting scenes: on one side, we see the wealthy man indulging in an opulent feast prepared by female servants using cooking pots filled with poultry and fish; on the other side lies poverty-stricken Lazarus surrounded by dogs. Through this thought-provoking image, Teniers emphasizes themes of wealth disparity and compassion. It serves as a reminder that material possessions should not blind us to those suffering around us. This remarkable piece invites viewers to reflect upon their own actions towards others while appreciating Teniers' exceptional talent for capturing intricate details and conveying profound narratives through his artistry.
