"The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus" is a painting by Frans Francken the Younger, a Flemish Baroque painter known for his contributions to the genre of cabinet paintings and his work within the Antwerp school. This painting illustrates the biblical parable found in the Gospel of Luke (16:19–31), which tells the story of a rich man, often named Dives, who lives a life of luxury while a poor beggar named Lazarus sits outside his gate, longing for scraps from the rich man's table.

Francken's interpretation of this moral tale is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, a characteristic of his refined style. The artwork typically depicts the stark contrast between the opulent lifestyle of the rich man and the destitute condition of Lazarus. It serves as a visual meditation on themes of wealth, poverty, mortality, and the afterlife, as the parable concludes with the death of both men and their subsequent fates in the hereafter—Lazarus is carried by angels to Abraham's side, a place of comfort, while the rich man finds himself in torment in Hades.

The painting is a prime example of Francken's ability to weave complex narratives into his compositions, often layering allegorical and moralistic elements with a rich palette and fine brushwork. The work is also indicative of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on didactic themes and the use of art to communicate religious messages to a broad audience.

Frans Francken the Younger, born in 1581 in Antwerp, was a member of the Francken family of artists and became one of the leading figures in Flemish art during the early 17th century. His works are held in high regard and can be found in various museums and private collections around the world. "The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus" is a testament to his artistic legacy and his skill in conveying complex biblical stories through the medium of painting.
