Beggar Christianity Dore Gustave Injured Lazarus New Testament Pleading Saint Dives
EDITORS COMMENTS
The 19th-century wood engraving, "DORE: ST. LAZARUS BEGGING" captures a poignant moment from the New Testament. Based on Luke 16:20-21, the artwork depicts Saint Lazarus, an injured beggar, pleading at the gate of Dives' house. Created by Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist known for his biblical illustrations, this print showcases his mastery in capturing emotion and storytelling through intricate engravings. In this scene, Lazarus can be seen with tattered clothing and a weary expression as he reaches out for help. His faithful companion, a dog by his side, symbolizes loyalty amidst despair. The contrast between Lazarus' destitution and the opulence of Dives' residence highlights themes of social inequality and compassion found within Christianity. Doré's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving; each line brings life to the characters and their surroundings. The texture of worn stone walls and intricately carved gates transports viewers back in time to ancient Jerusalem. This powerful image serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards those less fortunate than ourselves while also showcasing Doré's artistic brilliance. As part of The Granger Collection's vast art collection based in New York City, this print offers an opportunity to appreciate both historical significance and artistic excellence without commercial intent or use mentioned
