Lazarus' Burial
6 x 6 inches
Acrylic on canvas
2007
These six pieces that portray the Raising of Lazarus depict a historical site in Dublin, Ireland, called Dublin Castle. This building and its neighboring gardens are located in downtown Dublin and feature an unusual blend of medieval and modern architecture. In this scene, Mary and Martha bind their brother’s body to prepare it for the tomb, and the monotone, black and white color scheme creates a solemn mood.
