EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print depicts the biblical account of Elijah's ascension into heaven as recorded in 2 Kings 2. The Old Testament prophet, portrayed as an elderly man with a flowing white beard and dressed in simple robes, gazes upwards in awe as he is carried up to the heavens in a whirlwind of fire and chariots. The fiery horses and fiery chariots of God, described in the text, are vividly depicted in the image, their hooves and wheels engulfed in flames. The scene is set against a backdrop of a stormy sky filled with swirling clouds and billowing smoke, adding to the sense of divine power and majesty. The prophet Elisha, who stands below, watches in wonder as his mentor and friend disappears into the heavens, leaving behind only his cloak and the mantle of prophethood. This powerful image, with its intricate details and rich use of color, transports the viewer back to the ancient world of the Old Testament and the extraordinary story of Elijah's ascension into heaven.
