EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Elijah carried to Heaven" depicts a powerful biblical scene from II Kings, Chapter II, Verse 11. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Elijah's ascent into paradise. The image portrays the moment when Elijah is lifted up to heaven in a whirlwind. The engraver skillfully captures the intensity of this divine event, with swirling clouds and rays of light illuminating the scene. Elijah's figure is depicted mid-air, his robes billowing around him as he is transported towards his heavenly destination. This illustration was originally created for A New Family Bible published by C Brightly and T Kinnersley in 1805. It beautifully brings to life one of the most significant moments in biblical history. The use of black and white adds a timeless quality to this artwork, emphasizing its historical context while allowing viewers to focus on the dramatic narrative unfolding before them.
