"The Raising of Lazarus: Small Plate" is a notable etching by Rembrandt van Rijn, a master of the Dutch Golden Age, renowned for his profound contributions to painting, drawing, and printmaking. Created in 1642, this work (Bartsch 72; Hind 198; BB 42-b) is part of Rembrandt's extensive exploration of biblical themes, showcasing his exceptional skill in capturing human emotion and divine moments through the medium of etching. This piece depicts the miraculous moment from the Gospel of John, where Jesus Christ resurrects Lazarus from the dead, a narrative that has been a significant subject in Christian art.

Measuring approximately 15.1 x 11.3 cm, this small plate etching is remarkable for its intricate detail and the dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which Rembrandt mastered and employed to enhance the spiritual and emotional intensity of the scene. The composition focuses on the figure of Christ, who is depicted commanding Lazarus to rise from his tomb, while onlookers, including Lazarus's sisters, Mary and Martha, express a range of emotions from astonishment to devout faith.

"The Raising of Lazarus: Small Plate" is distinguished from Rembrandt's earlier, larger etching of the same subject by its size and the intimacy it conveys. This work is a testament to Rembrandt's innovative approach to etching, treating the plate much like a sketch, where he could experiment with light, texture, and emotion in a more immediate and expressive manner than in his paintings. The piece is a prime example of Rembrandt's mastery in using etching as a medium for storytelling, capturing the viewer's imagination with the dramatic and miraculous moment of Lazarus's resurrection.

This etching is part of Rembrandt's prolific body of work that includes over 300 prints, reflecting his deep engagement with religious themes, his keen observation of the human condition, and his relentless experimentation with printmaking techniques. "The Raising of Lazarus: Small Plate" not only exemplifies Rembrandt's skill as an etcher but also his profound ability to convey complex biblical narratives with emotional depth and artistic innovation. It remains a significant work in the study of Rembrandt's etchings, offering insights into his artistic process and the religious and cultural context of the 17th-century Netherlands.
