"Le Prophète Élie et la Veuve de Sarepta" is a notable painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Cornelis van Poelenburch. This artwork exemplifies Poelenburch's distinctive style, which often blends elements of classical landscapes with biblical or mythological themes. Born in 1594, Poelenburch was a prominent figure in the Utrecht School and was known for his finely detailed and luminous paintings. His works often featured idyllic landscapes populated with small, meticulously rendered figures, and "Le Prophète Élie et la Veuve de Sarepta" is no exception.

The painting depicts a scene from the Old Testament, specifically from the First Book of Kings, Chapter 17. The narrative centers on the prophet Elijah and his encounter with a widow in the town of Zarephath (Sarepta). According to the biblical account, during a severe famine, Elijah asks the widow for food and water. Despite her dire circumstances, she shares her meager resources with him, and in return, her supplies of flour and oil are miraculously replenished, sustaining her household throughout the famine.

In "Le Prophète Élie et la Veuve de Sarepta," Poelenburch captures this moment of divine intervention with a delicate balance of realism and idealism. The figures of Elijah and the widow are rendered with careful attention to detail, set against a backdrop of a serene, sunlit landscape. The composition reflects Poelenburch's mastery in creating harmonious scenes that convey both the narrative's spiritual significance and the beauty of the natural world.

This painting is a testament to Poelenburch's skill in integrating human figures into expansive, atmospheric settings, a hallmark of his oeuvre. It also highlights his ability to infuse biblical stories with a sense of immediacy and intimacy, making them accessible and engaging to viewers. "Le Prophète Élie et la Veuve de Sarepta" remains an important work within Poelenburch's body of work and a fine example of 17th-century Dutch painting.
