The raising of Lazarus, the central panel of an altar piece, 1495-1562 (oil on panel)

Christ stands to left in dark slate robe. Lazarus steps from his grave, centre, half-covered by a white robe. A disciple in clear green unties his wrists. Two women in right foreground. On extreme left behind Christ a disciple in rose and blue, his head turned round, profile left. Six other men seen, beyond him and Christ, on left, and on right another six, one holding his nose. In centre background Christ addresses Lazarus' mother followed by a band of 8 disciples. A woman looking from a window and two men in a doorway right. Two figures at the far end of an arched gatehouse left. Classic buildings in background, a tree among them left. The style of this panel points firmly to a North-Netherlandish source influenced by Jan van Scorel of Utrecht. The fantastic architectural buildings are found in the background of a number of Scorel's works; these are based on drawings that Scorel made in Italy. The early part of the 1530s marked the establishment of Scorel's studio which was to become one of the most elaborate and effective of its kind in Europe and was extremely influential on artists' throughout northern Europe in the latter half of the sixteenth century
