About the piece

Painted in 1613 by Gillis d'Hondecoeter, this oil on panel captures the intersection of biblical narrative and the burgeoning Dutch landscape tradition. The work depicts the Prophet Elijah and the widow of Zarephath integrated into a lush, expansive vista characterized by gnarled trees, distant hamlets, and a signature windmill, all rendered with a sophisticated sense of depth and atmospheric perspective.
