EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Elijah and the widow of Zarephath" we are transported back to a significant biblical moment. The image, created by Jan Saenredam, Gerard Valck, and Theodorus Schrevelius in 1604, beautifully captures the essence of the story. The scene unfolds at the gate of Zarephath, where Elijah encounters a woman gathering wood. With a cross on her way and determination in her eyes, she catches our attention. Elijah's gaze meets hers as he approaches with compassion and purpose. As we delve deeper into the details of this print, we notice that both figures carry firewood - perhaps for their evening meal. It is evident that they are about to share an important encounter that will forever change their lives. The Latin text accompanying the image tells us that Elijah sends them home to make dinner but assures them that their supplies will not run out until rain returns to end the drought plaguing their land. Quint Lox has masterfully captured this timeless moment through his lens. Through his artistry, we can almost feel the weight of each log carried by these two individuals who have found themselves intertwined in divine providence. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a powerful reminder of faith's ability to bring people together amidst challenging circumstances. It invites us to reflect on our own encounters with grace and reminds us that even in times when resources seem scarce, there is always hope for abundance if we open ourselves up to
