EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate and detailed manuscript illumination of The Parable of the Rich Man and the Beggar Lazarus, dating back to 1332. Created by the Master of Codex Matenadaran in the 13th century, this watercolour on parchment piece is a true masterpiece that tells a powerful biblical story.
The scene depicts the contrast between wealth and poverty, as seen through the rich man living in opulence while Lazarus, a beggar with nothing to his name, suffers at his doorstep. The parable serves as a reminder of compassion and humility, highlighting themes of social justice and moral responsibility.
The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to each character and detail, drawing viewers into this ancient biblical narrative. The expressions on their faces convey emotions ranging from greed to desperation, making it a thought-provoking piece that resonates with audiences even today.
Displayed at Matenadaran Institute of Ancient Manuscripts in Yerevan, Armenia, this work not only showcases artistic talent but also serves as an important cultural artifact. It stands as a testament to religious devotion and storytelling through artistry, capturing both historical significance and timeless truths within its delicate brushstrokes.
