Painting Description
"Parabola di Lazzaro e del ricco epulone," also known as "The Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man," is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Domenico Fetti. Created circa 1618-1622, this work is a visual interpretation of the biblical parable found in the Gospel of Luke (16:19-31), which tells the story of a beggar named Lazarus and a nameless rich man who both die, with their fortunes reversed in the afterlife.
Domenico Fetti, born in Rome in 1589 and having spent a significant part of his career in Mantua under the patronage of Duke Ferdinando Gonzaga, was known for his dynamic and expressive style that often brought biblical and mythological narratives to life. "Parabola di Lazzaro e del ricco epulone" is a prime example of Fetti's mastery in storytelling through art, showcasing his ability to convey complex human emotions and moral lessons.
The painting is remarkable for its vivid portrayal of the contrasting lives of the two main figures. Lazarus is depicted at the rich man's gate, covered in sores and yearning for scraps from the rich man's table, while dogs lick his wounds. The rich man, dressed in opulent clothing, is shown feasting without regard for the beggar. Fetti's use of color, light, and composition emphasizes the divide between the two characters, both in life and in the implied hereafter.
This work is part of a series of parable-themed paintings by Fetti, which were highly influential in the spread of the Baroque style across Europe. "Parabola di Lazzaro e del ricco epulone" not only reflects Fetti's artistic skill but also serves as a poignant reminder of the era's religious and social values. The painting is housed in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance.
