This scene of The Raising of Lazarus (La Resurrección de Lázaro) was created during the transition out of the Late Gothic period, around 1500. It is carved into the oak tympanum (space within an arch) that adorned the entrance to the church of the former Hospital of Our Lady of Hope (Hospital de Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza, San Lorenzo y San Vicente). The church faced the building that now houses the Huesca Museum, in the Plaza de la Universidad (University Square), which was known as Plaza del Hospital until the third quarter of the 19th century. The techniques that Gil de Brabante used to create this piece reveal the influence of Nordic sculpture, characterized by the pronounced expressiveness of the shapes. Due to its original location, where the top was protected, but the lower section was exposed to the elements, there is a marked difference in the state of conservation of the two parts.
