Lievens painted The Raising of Lazarus in 1631. Over 1630-1632 he had a contest with Rembrandt to produce the best composition depicting "The Raising of Lazarus". The Lievens' painting is done primarily in shades of gray, and it is a night scene. Lievens also produced an etching based on the painting.In 1871 the painting was included in the Old Masters Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts. In 1884, the painting and an etching were sold for 12 guineas. In 1903, Henry Willett donated the painting to the Brighton Museum & Art Gallery.
