Having predicted that a terrible drought would ravage the land, Elijah was instructed by God to hide by the stream Cherith. Here, ravens delivered bread and meat to him every morning and evening.\n\nWhile Elijah’s story embodies piety, Guercino’s representation is profoundly human. The prophet sits awkwardly, his aged face turned expectantly toward the birds above him; they represent both physical and spiritual nourishment as Elijah places his faith in God’s commands. A bowl lies empty at his feet and his clothing is torn at the shoulder – reminders of his hunger and hardship in the wilderness.\n\nThis is one of two paintings Guercino made in 1620 for the papal legate of Ferrara, Cardinal Jacopo Serra, an early and enthusiastic patron of the artist.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/guercino-elijah-fed-by-ravens\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Elijah fed by Ravens\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guercino","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509636239603,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (76 3\/4\" x 61 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509636272371,"sku":null,"price":6858.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20\" x 16\")","offer_id":50509636305139,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 1\/2\" x 19 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509636337907,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30\" x 24\")","offer_id":50509636370675,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (38 5\/8\" x 31\")","offer_id":50509636403443,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (46 3\/8\" x 37 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509636436211,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (54 5\/8\" x 43 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509636468979,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (65 5\/8\" x 52 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509636501747,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/ElijahfedbyRavens.jpg?v=1789819268","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/elijah-fed-by-ravens-ngal734","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
