Raising of Lazarus" is a significant and revered work by artist Jan Joest van Calcar, a prominent figure in late Gothic art in Germany. The painting, a rendering of a famous biblical event from the New Testament, stands as a testament to Joest's particular mastercraft in embodying spiritual narrative using vibrant colors, minute details, and commanding composition.

Jan Joest, born in the Dutch city of Calcar, was thought to have completed this work in the early 16th century. Joest drew upon the story from the Gospel of John where Jesus revives Lazarus of Bethany, four days after his death, showcasing not just a miraculous feat, but also the divine authority of Christ over life and death.

Set in a bijou landscape filled with onlookers, "The Raising of Lazarus" uses the space effectively to stage a dramatic scene of resurrection. Joest integrates the Baroque traditions of sharply contrasted light and shadow with meticulous detail in the garments and faces of the characters - bringing both a sense of life-like realism and heavenly glow to the scene.

The distinctive features of the painting, such as Lazarus wrapped in grave clothes and Jesus in the act of blessing, echo a thematic resonance with the mysteries of death and rebirth. Meanwhile, the expressions and gestures of the bystanders reflect the amazement and fear prevalent in the crowd.

This masterpiece, "The Raising of Lazarus," thus serves as a pivotal work in the oeuvre of Jan Joest, providing valuable insight into his artistic style, along with his interpretation of biblical narratives, as seen in late Gothic artwork. The painting continues to be a significant contribution to Gothic artwork studies and remains a testament to Joest's unique blend of vivid storytelling with painterly skill.
