Giorgio Vasari, writing in 1568, praised Leyden's fine engraving style and his use of perspective. This early impression of Lucas van Leyden’s Raising of Lazarus shows that his engraved line was particularly fine and often produced a transluscent effect. In his earlier prints van Leyden created a strong contrast between light and shadow, using four-way cross-hatching for the darkest patches of shading, while his backgrounds were created out of very fine engraved line. \r\n\r\nSomething of van Leyden's working method can also be seen in this plate. Design lines still remain from when he scratched rough sketches directly onto the plate with a needle. These lines can be seen beside the two background figures beside the tree, and above the background trees, which were originally meant to be larger. \r\n\r\nPlacing the scene on top of an outcrop and introducing a steep decline to the right has enabled Leyden to combine strong detail and texture with a sketchy yet expansive landscape backdrop. The placement of figures in a naturalistic landscape setting was something for which Northern and especially Netherlandish artists were known, and inspired Italian artists and printmakers such as Marcantonio Raimondi, who is known to have copied landscapes from Leyden to use in his own compositions at this time.","physicalDescription":"Jesus Christ and Lazarus are centre of the image, surrounded by a group of men and women, some of whom are expensively dressed with Renaissance headdresses and costumes. Two men are climbing trees to get a better look while one watches, and two other men stand at some distance behind the main group. Lazarus emerges from a tomb set into the outcrop and has his hands tied before him. A man in long tunic and belt holds the ties. The scene is set in a landscape setting with rocks and trees on an outcrop, with castles and hills in the lower background to the right; on this side, a man and woman are climbing the hill up to the outcrop.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Leyden, Lucas van","id":"A17709"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"engraving","id":"AAT53231"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Engraving in ink on paper","categories":[{"text":"Christianity","id":"THES48978"},{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"Images Online","id":"THES48937"},{"text":"Illustration","id":"THES48938"}],"styles":[{"text":"Northern Renaissance","id":"AAT252246"},{"text":"Medieval","id":"AAT20756"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2009CP9323"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLF (VA)","id":"THES49656"},"free":"","case":"TOPIC","shelf":"6B","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Leiden","id":"x28971"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1507","earliest":"1502-01-01","latest":"1511-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"E.861-1885","id":"O180646"},"association":"Version"}],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"28.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"cut to","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"20.1","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"cut to","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"37.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"paper backing","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"27.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"paper backing","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"53.1","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"mounted","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"38","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"mounted","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"L","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Artist initial inscribed on plate in square placque on floor, bottom centre"},{"content":"[shield with Arms of Burgundy - trefoil crown on shield quartered with diagonal stripes and fleur-de-lis, parallel lines between the quarters, a figure(?) in the centre, and a letter D below.
