Lazarus, Jacob Epstein, 1947-48

New College Chapel

By kind permission of the Warden, Fellows and Scholars of New College, Oxford.

Lazarus by Sir Jacob Epstein (1880–1959) was installed in New College, Chapel in 1952. This is no sentimental resurrection. It shows Lazarus, awakened from death and struggling to free himself from the cloths that bind him (John 11:1-45).

Listen to a reflection by the Revd Dr Erica Longfellow, Dean of Divinity, New College, University of Oxford
