EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of Prophet Elijah being awakened by an angel at dawn in the desert. Painted by Giovanni Lanfranco in 1624-25, this masterpiece is part of a series of eight paintings created for the chapel of the sacraments in Rome's San Paolo fuori le mura church. In this scene, we witness Elijah, his head adorned with a loaf of bread and a jar of water - symbols representing sustenance and divine provision. As he gazes up at the angel before him, his left hand points backwards, perhaps indicating astonishment or reverence towards this celestial encounter. The artist skillfully portrays the ethereal light that bathes both figures, creating an atmosphere filled with spiritual energy and awakening. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life every brushstroke on canvas. This painting not only showcases Lanfranco's artistic mastery but also serves as a visual representation of faith and divine intervention. It invites viewers to contemplate their own encounters with angels or moments when they have felt divinely guided. Measuring 212 cm in height, 230 cm in width, and weighing approximately 60 kg, this monumental artwork demands attention and admiration. Its presence undoubtedly adds depth to any space it graces while reminding us of the timeless beauty found within religious art.
