A
beautiful,
extraordinarily
effective
triangular
composition
draws the
viewer's
eye (and
with it,
the revived
corpse of
Lazarus)
upward toward
the raised
hand of
Jesus in
this painting
from around
1630. A
smaller
triangular
outcrop
of rock
surrounds
and accents
the hand
and face
of the reanimator
while the
weapons
hanging
on the wall
lead the
eye back
down to
the gaunt
face of
Lazarus.
