Fotoreproductie van een gravure van Elia in de wildernis, gevoed door de engel door Conrad Lauwers, naar het schilderij door Peter Paul Rubens before 1858

This 19th-century photo reproduction, created by Jean Louis Bargignac, depicts a scene from the biblical story of Elijah. The image, based on a painting by Peter Paul Rubens, shows the prophet Elijah being nourished by an angel in the wilderness. The dramatic composition, with the figures positioned against a backdrop of swirling clouds and a dramatic landscape, highlights the divine intervention in a moment of human need. This photo reproduction, a testament to the enduring appeal of Rubens' work, showcases the artist's masterful use of light and shadow to create a sense of realism and drama. The photo reproduction, created before 1858, serves as a valuable tool for studying Rubens' original artwork.
