This is Juan de Flandes' painting called the Resurrection of Lazarus. This painting is of the time when Jesus brought Lazarus back to life after four days of having been dead. I chose this painting for this blog post because I felt like Flandes used space extraordinarily well here. There is a clear foreground with the focal point being Lazarus, but the arch in the middle ground leads your eye downwards, and the building in the background on the left, and the tree on the right, almost create an arrow pointing downwards towards the foreground and the focus of the painting. The warmer colors are in front, and the cooler ones receed from the eye towards the back.
