The Mocking Children Cursed by Elijah and Eaten by the She-Bear - A Testament to Divine Wrath
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, created in the 16th century by Adriaen Collaert, depicts a chilling biblical scene from the Book of Kings. The artwork is part of the Landscapes with Old and New Testament Scenes and Hunting Scenes series, showcasing Collaert's mastery as an engraver. In this haunting image, we witness a group of mocking children who dared to disrespect the prophet Elijah. As punishment for their disbelief, they are cursed by him and subsequently devoured by a ferocious she-bear. The artist skillfully captures both the shock on their faces and the terrifying power of divine retribution. The intricate border surrounding this engraving adds a decorative touch, enhancing its artistic appeal. Through his detailed illustrations, Collaert transports us back to Flanders during the Baroque era, immersing us in religious imagery that was highly valued at that time. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's relationship with faith and consequences. It invites contemplation on themes such as obedience to higher powers and respect for spiritual teachings. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's art gallery, this print stands as a testament to Collaert's talent in capturing complex narratives through his engravings. Its inclusion within Heritage Images ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate historical artistry intertwined with religious significance.
