The Resurrection of Lazarus

Albert van Ouwater (1410/1415-1475) was one of the earliest painters in oil in Holland, soon after the discovery of the art by Jan van Eyck. He was probably born in Oudewater, and is mentioned by Carel van Mander as a reputable painter at the time in which he lived. He highly commends an altar-piece by Van Ouwater in the principal church in Haarlem, the Sint-Bavokerk, representing St. Peter and St. Paul, in which the figures are carefully and correctly designed, and richly coloured.

Van Mander describes another picture by Van Ouwater of a more extensive composition, representing the Resurrection of Lazarus.
