This engraving by Philips Galle, titled "Landschap met Elisa, die de mantel van Elia ontvangt", depicts the biblical story of Elijah's ascension into heaven. Elisa kneels on a rocky outcrop in the foreground, while Elijah, on a cloud pulled by four horses, ascends into the heavens. The scene is set against an architectural background with a cityscape, a bridge, and a monumental obelisk. The intricate detail and dramatic composition of the engraving showcase Galle's mastery of the printmaking technique. This piece was created in 1571 and can be viewed at the Rijksmuseum.
