Elia en de profeten van Baäl 1637 - 1671

"Elia en de profeten van Baäl" is an etching by an anonymous artist, depicting a scene from the Old Testament story of Elijah's contest with the prophets of Baal. The print shows Elijah standing with other Israelites as a bull is consumed by fire on an altar while prophets of Baal pray below. The scene is dynamic, and the artist has used strong lines and shading to create a sense of drama. This artwork is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
