EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Elijah Raiseth the Widows Son" transports us back to biblical times with its intricate details and powerful storytelling. Created by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from the Bible. The scene depicts Elijah, a revered prophet, performing a miraculous act of compassion. Standing before a grieving widow whose son has passed away, Elijah raises his hands towards the lifeless body. The intensity on his face reflects both determination and faith as he calls upon divine intervention. The engraving beautifully portrays the emotional turmoil of the widow as she watches with anticipation for any sign of hope. Shadows and light play across her face, emphasizing her vulnerability and desperation for her beloved child to be restored to life. Schnorr von Carolsfeld's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From the folds in their garments to the expressions on their faces, each element adds depth and realism to this poignant moment captured forever on paper. This particular print was part of an extensive series called "The Bible in Pictures or Scripture History". Published around 1880 by Blackie & Son Ltd. , it aimed to bring biblical stories alive through visual representations like this one. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we are reminded of the enduring power that art possesses in conveying profound narratives from our shared history.
