The Raising of Lazarus

• The Raising of Lazarus
• Inner Right Wing of a Triptych with the Female Donor and St Catherine

De vrouw van de stichter begeleid door de heilige Catharina

SK-A-4751-B

This triptych was painted to commemorate a married couple, the man and woman shown kneeling on the wings. The central panel appropriately depicts the miracle of Christ raising Lazarus from the dead, an allusion to the promise of eternal life and the belief that death is overcome through faith in Christ.
