The Raising of Lazarus is a story from the New Testament, recorded in the Gospel of John (John 11:1-45). According to the story, Lazarus, a friend of Jesus, had fallen ill and died. When Jesus arrived in Bethany four days after Lazarus' death, he was approached by Lazarus' sisters, Mary and Martha, who told him of their brother's death and asked him to come to their home to heal him.
When Jesus arrived at the tomb where Lazarus was buried, he commanded that the stone be removed, and then he prayed to God. After his prayer, he called out to Lazarus, who came back to life and stepped out of the tomb. The raising of Lazarus was a significant event in the life of Jesus and was seen as a powerful demonstration of his divine power and the fulfillment of his mission as the Son of God. The scene is often shown with Jesus standing at the tomb, with Lazarus rising from the dead, with Mary and Martha looking on in amazement.
Girolamo Muziano was an Italian painter and architect, born in 1532 in Acquafredda, near Brescia, Italy. He is known for his religious paintings and frescoes, as well as his architectural designs. Muziano began his career as a painter in Rome, where he studied under the famous artist Daniele da Volterra. He quickly gained recognition for his talent and was commissioned to paint several important works for the Vatican, including frescoes in the Sala Regia and the Sala dei Capitani. As well as painting, Muziano was also an accomplished architect. He designed several buildings in Rome, including the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli and the Palazzo dei Conservatori on the Capitoline Hill. Muziano's style is characterised by realism and attention to detail. His paintings often feature dramatic lighting and vibrant colours, and he was renowned for his ability to capture the emotions of his subjects. Muziano died in Rome in 1592, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most talented painters and architects of the Renaissance.
