"The Angel of God appears to the Prophet Elijah" Oil on canvas Late 17th century Ancient carved and gilded frame Canvas measurements 58 x 40 Frame measurements 70 x 53 Excellent condition This splendid late 17th century canvas depicts the Biblical episode that sees the apparition of the Angel of God to the prophet Elijah in the Desert. Elijah is tired, hungry and thirsty and while invoking death he receives the visit of the Divine Messenger who brings him water and food. The scene is particularly fascinating: the old prophet sitting exhausted with his back leaning against a juniper tree and his left hand to support his head, observes a magnificent angel with outstretched wings pointing the way to God.
