Van Gogh devoted little oil to explicitly biblical themes. One exception is his Pieta (after Delacroix), 1889. An other – painted whilst in a mental hospital in Saint-Rémy – is The Raising of Lazarus. The work is based on an etching by Rembrandt that his brother Theo had sent him. Some think Lazarus’ face is a self-portrait; the similarities are, no doubt, striking. What do you think?
