"Na dat gij soete jongelingen / Altijt tracht na nieuwe dingen (...)" is a 1716 woodcut by Jan Bouman, depicting a series of scenes from the biblical story of the Prophet Elijah. The work is arranged in a grid format with text accompanying each scene. This artwork is a prime example of early Dutch woodcut prints and is a fascinating visual representation of a popular biblical story. The scenes in the artwork depict Elijah’s miracles, such as raising the dead and being taken to heaven by a whirlwind. The work is a fine example of early Dutch woodcuts, known for their detailed imagery and use of color.
