"Lazarus and the Rich Man" is a renowned engraving by Gustave Doré, a prolific and influential French artist known for his detailed and imaginative illustrations. Created as part of his illustrations for the Bible, this work visually interprets the parable of the same name found in the Gospel of Luke (16:19–31). The parable tells the story of two men: a rich man who lives in luxury and Lazarus, a poor beggar covered with sores, longing to eat what falls from the rich man's table. After their deaths, Lazarus is carried by angels to Abraham's side, a place of comfort, while the rich man finds himself in torment in Hades, highlighting a reversal of their fortunes in the afterlife.

Doré's engraving, executed in the 19th century, is characterized by its dramatic contrast and meticulous attention to detail, qualities that define much of his work. The composition effectively captures the essence of the biblical story, emphasizing the stark disparities between the lives of the rich man and Lazarus, as well as their contrasting fates in the afterlife. Doré's use of light and shadow not only enhances the dramatic impact of the scene but also serves to symbolize the moral and spiritual themes of the parable, such as judgment, repentance, and the consequences of one's actions on earth.

This piece is part of Doré's larger body of work that includes illustrations for major literary and religious texts, through which he became one of the most celebrated illustrators of the 19th century. His illustrations for the Bible, in particular, gained widespread acclaim for their ability to convey the narratives' emotional depth and complexity, making the stories accessible and engaging to a broad audience. "Lazarus and the Rich Man" stands as a testament to Doré's mastery of the engraving medium and his profound understanding of biblical themes, continuing to captivate viewers with its powerful imagery and timeless message.
