This engraving, "Elia wedijvert met de Baälpriesters", by Philips Galle, depicts the biblical story of Elijah's contest with the prophets of Baal. The scene is set outside a temple, with Elijah and his followers facing off against the priests of Baal. Galle's detailed and dramatic depiction of the scene exemplifies the style of Northern Renaissance art.
