Elia knielt voor het brandende offer after 1567

Philips Galle's "Elia knielt voor het brandende offer" (after 1567) is a black and white engraving depicting the biblical scene of the prophet Elijah sacrificing a bull on an altar. The image shows Elijah kneeling in prayer as the fire of the altar rises towards the sky, consuming the sacrifice. The scene is filled with detail, from the expressions of the onlookers to the smoke billowing from the fire. The engraving is a fine example of the technical skill of Philips Galle, a Flemish artist known for his prints. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
