The Raising of Lazarus

Christ, in a blue robe with a red mantle and a gold halo, stands near center-left and gestures toward the crowd on his left. To the right, a doorway in a tomb contains a wrapped figure, while a kneeling figure in red sits in the foreground, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the scene. The composition uses a dense, hieratic arrangement, bright, saturated colors, and a shimmering gold background with stylized hills and trees, all characteristic of Duccio’s late medieval Sienese style and decorative, non-naturalistic space.
