This captivating engraving originates from series, titled "The Story of Elijah and Elisha," was created by Pieter van der Borcht and published by Gerard de Jode in Antwerp in 1585. The complete series consists of four engravings with wide margins. The series presents scenes from the Old Testament, specifically focusing on the narrative of Elijah and Elisha. The viewer is presented with a composition that highlights the transfer of prophetic authority from Elijah to Elisha. The central focus of the engraving is Elisha, who is shown in the foreground, surrounded by a group of figures. The background of the engraving showcases a detailed landscape setting, depicting a natural environment that adds depth and context to the scene. The inclusion of such details contributes to the overall visual narrative, evoking a sense of place and grounding the mystical event in a recognizable setting. Each engraving is adorned with an elegant oval medallion, within which the depicted scene is presented. These medallions are surrounded by charming decorative borders, adding to the visual allure of the series. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail in the ornamental frames testify to the artistic skill and creativity of the engraver. The engravings were originally part of Gerard de Jode's publication "Thesaurus sacrarum historiarum veteris testamenti" (Treasury of Sacred Histories of the Old Testament). This series stands as a remarkable contribution to the visual representation of biblical narratives, presenting significant moments from the lives of Elijah and Elisha in a visually captivating manner.
