Jean LeClerc (1587/88, Nancy – buried 20 October 1633, Nancy), the raising of Lazarus. Oil on vanvas. He was a 17th century from the Duchy of Lorraine painter of the Baroque, or more specifically a "tenebrist". Only six authenticated paintings remain of Leclerc's work, but numerous etchings and engravings have survived.
Leclerc studied with the Venetian master Carlo Saraceni in early 1600s. Le Clerc is known for his mastery of nocturnal light effects, and the luminosity of his scenes. His large (71 x 54 inches) Adoration of the Shepherds is a fine example of this technique. This biblical scene displays the translucent profiles of Mary and the shepherds admiring the baby Jesus.
France, circa 1622-23
