Landschap met Elia en de engel 1614 - 1648

"Landschap met Elia en de engel" is an etching by Andries Stock, dated 1614-1648, now housed at the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a mountainous landscape, with a figure of Elijah being visited by an angel. The composition is characterized by the use of bold lines and shading, typical of the Dutch etching style of the early 17th century. The image captures a moment of solitude and reflection, with the figure of Elijah dwarfed by the vastness of the surrounding nature. The landscape serves as a backdrop for the spiritual interaction, highlighting the power of the divine and its presence in the everyday world.
