The Raising of Lazarus, Other Title(s): Centre Panel of a Triptych with the Raising of Lazarus. Although there is no mention of it in the gospel, the artist shows St Peter loosening Lazarus’s shroud, possibly as a symbol of freeing him from sin. This element was undoubtedly taken from another source, quite possibly a play about Lazarus of c. 1530. The inscription on the hem of the robe of the second man from the right in the foreground is a reference to Matthew 22:37.
