EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment from the Bible when Elijah fearlessly runs before the chariot of Ahab. Created by renowned French painter James Jacques Joseph Tissot, this illustration brings to life a powerful scene from the Book of Kings I, 18:46. As described in the scripture, "And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel". Tissot's attention to detail is evident in every stroke as he depicts Elijah's determination and agility as he races ahead of Ahab's chariot. The horses gallop with intensity while their manes flow freely in motion. This artwork not only showcases Tissot's artistic brilliance but also highlights his deep understanding and respect for biblical narratives. The composition exudes a sense of energy and anticipation, transporting viewers back to ancient times where prophets like Elijah played significant roles in shaping history. Through this image, we are reminded of faith, courage, and divine intervention. As we admire this remarkable piece from Tissot's Old Testament series published in 1904, it serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence. It is an exquisite addition to any collection that appreciates historical significance intertwined with masterful craftsmanship.
