The image you see above comes from Giotto's Life of Saint Mary Magdalene fresco cycle at the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi. Most of the fresco cycle can be found online here. It depcits the arrival of Lazarus, Mary Magdalene, and Martha (the three siblings in the middle of the boat ) with two of their companions: Sidonius (the young man who in) and Maximus (the old man).
The painting also references one of the miracle tales found in Jacobus da Voragine's Golden Legend- more on that later!
