Bartholomeus Breenbergh's "Elisha And The Children" is a notable work of art that exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age of painting, a period renowned for its rich artistic output and the flourishing of various genres, including history painting, which Breenbergh often explored. Created in the early 17th century, this painting is a vivid representation of a biblical narrative from the Old Testament, specifically from the Second Book of Kings, chapter 2, verses 23-25. The story recounts the prophet Elisha being mocked by a group of children for his baldness, and in response, he curses them, leading to their mauling by two bears sent by God.

Breenbergh, born in Deventer in 1598, was a prominent figure in the Dutch art scene, known for his landscape paintings that often incorporated historical and biblical themes. His works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the integration of human figures within expansive, often idealized landscapes. "Elisha And The Children" is no exception, showcasing Breenbergh's skill in blending narrative content with his adeptness in landscape painting.

The painting captures the moment of divine retribution with a dramatic and somewhat theatrical composition. The figures of Elisha and the children are set against a backdrop that reflects Breenbergh's Italianate influences, likely stemming from his time spent in Rome, where he was part of the Bentvueghels, a society of mostly Dutch and Flemish artists. The landscape is lush and detailed, providing a stark contrast to the violent act taking place in the foreground.

"Elisha And The Children" is a testament to Breenbergh's ability to convey complex narratives through his art, combining his talent for landscape painting with his interest in biblical stories. The painting not only reflects the religious and moral themes prevalent during the Dutch Golden Age but also highlights Breenbergh's unique artistic vision and his contribution to the rich tapestry of 17th-century Dutch art.
