Magdalena van de Passe - Elijah Fed by Ravens

The biblical story of Elijah serves here solely as a pretext for rendering a desolate, imaginary landscape. Only by looking closely can the figure of the prophet Elijah be discerned. To escape the wrath of King Achab, he fled into the wilderness, where at God’s command he was fed by two ravens. This print is probably based on one Savery’s late paintings.
