Raffaello, miracolo di sant'eusebio da cremona, 1502-03, 02

The elderly Saint Eusebius leans over three figures who are awakening from death in an open, grassy landscape. Onlookers dressed in early 16th-century Italian tunics and caps watch the event with gestures of prayer and astonishment. The background features thin, delicate trees and a winding river leading toward a distant, hazy mountain range.

This panel is part of a predella by the young Raphael, illustrating a popular medieval legend found in the 'Epistle of Pseudo-Cyril.' It depicts Eusebius, a disciple of Saint Jerome, raising three men from the dead to testify against heretical claims, reflecting the Renaissance humanist interest in the lives of the Church Fathers.
