EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the profound artwork "Lazarus at the rich man's gate (vellum)" by an anonymous French School artist from the 14th century. The piece, now part of a private collection, beautifully depicts the parable of Lazarus and Dives as told by Jesus in the gospel of St. Luke. The image portrays a stark contrast between two individuals: on one side stands a wealthy man who callously ignores a beggar with leprosy outside his opulent gate, while on the other side rests Lazarus, embraced by heavenly light and surrounded by divine figures. This powerful narrative reminds us of the consequences that await those who turn their backs on those in need. The intricate details and delicate brushstrokes captured on vellum bring this biblical story to life, evoking both contemplation and introspection. Through this masterpiece, we are compelled to reflect upon our own actions towards others and consider whether we are truly extending compassion to those less fortunate. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, it serves as a reminder that true wealth lies not in material possessions but rather in acts of kindness and empathy towards our fellow human beings. Let us be inspired by this timeless work of art to create a world where no one is left behind or forgotten at any gate they may find themselves standing before.
