From the Paper:

"Tintoretto painted many Biblical scenes during his career. Each offered something to the audience that would take time to study. Each one of his famous canvases also showcased his skill as an artist. The Raising of Lazarus is no different. All of the elements that made Tintoretto a memorable name from the Venetian Renaissance appear in this piece. He uses the contrast of light and dark, a vivid and powerful use of color, and a dramatically rendered biblical scene. All of these are rendered in his signature style of strong brushstrokes and elegantly positioned figures. Truly, if audiences had only this work of Tintoretto to study, they could see everything that explained what made him a successful artist both in his day and in the study of art."
