EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century Baroque oil painting depicts the biblical scene of the prophet Elijah, as depicted in the Old Testament, awakening the young boy Elisha with a fiery chariot and fiery horses. The scene is believed to be a copy after the work of the renowned German-born Dutch painter, Sir Godfrey Kneller, who was active during the Dutch Golden Age. Originally attributed to Ferdinand Bol, a prominent Dutch painter and student of Kneller, this painting is now recognized as a copy of Kneller's original work. The painting captures the moment of awe and wonder on the faces of the two figures, as Elisha is startled from his sleep by the miraculous appearance of Elijah and his heavenly chariot. The use of rich colors and bold brushstrokes typical of the Baroque era bring the scene to life, with the fiery horses and wings of the angels adding an otherworldly quality to the painting. The painting is a testament to the religious and artistic heritage of the Netherlands during the 17th century, a time when the arts flourished and the influence of the Old and New Testaments permeated every aspect of life. This painting, with its intricate details and masterful execution, is a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture the imagination and inspire wonder.
