EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of Elijah's sacrifice being consumed by fire. The scene depicts Elijah's sacrifice to God burning on an altar, with the altar itself also engulfed in flames. In the foreground, soldiers can be seen killing the priests of Baal, while Elijah fervently prays for divine intervention. As if answering his prayers, God sends a powerful burst of fire that not only consumes Elijah's sacrifice but also engulfs the entire altar. The sheer force and intensity of this miraculous event is beautifully portrayed in this artwork by Luca Giordano. The people witnessing this awe-inspiring spectacle are overcome with reverence and fall prostrate before such a display of divine power. Their faces reflect a mixture of astonishment and faith as they bear witness to this extraordinary act. Luca Giordano masterfully captured both the physicality and spirituality within this scene through his skillful use of paper etching. This Italian artist from 1644-1705 has left his mark on history with this remarkable piece that showcases his talent for depicting dramatic moments infused with religious symbolism. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a testament to both Giordano's artistic prowess and the enduring power of faith in humanity throughout history.
