Lazarus and the Rich Man

About this painting
Luke gives the parable two ends of a room; Bassano gives it two ends of a canvas. The rich man reclines at his lavish table on the right, Lazarus lies on the floor at the far left with dogs licking his sores, and nothing joins them but the distance between — which is the whole subject, the distance a man can keep while both are still alive. Cleveland notes the reversal waiting on the other side of death, when the beggar is welcomed and the feaster is not. Bassano paints the moment before it turns.
Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. And no one did give him: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
