"Elijah Restoring The Widow's Son" is a painting by the British artist Ford Madox Brown, completed in 1868. The work is a representation of a biblical story from the First Book of Kings, where the prophet Elijah resurrects the son of the widow of Zarephath. This subject is a demonstration of Brown's interest in religious themes and his commitment to portraying them with emotional depth and realism.

The painting is executed in the Pre-Raphaelite style, of which Brown was a forerunner and an associate, though not a formal member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This movement was known for its detailed observation of nature, vivid colors, and complex compositions, often imbuing scenes with moral or social significance. In "Elijah Restoring The Widow's Son," Brown's meticulous attention to detail and his use of bright, clear colors are evident, reflecting the Pre-Raphaelite ethos of fidelity to nature and a rejection of the conventions of academic painting.

Measuring 46.7 x 40.6 cm, the oil on canvas artwork is part of a series of biblical paintings by Brown, which also includes "Jesus Washing Peter's Feet" (1852-1856) and "The Coat of Many Colors" (1864-1866). These works were part of Brown's exploration of religious narratives, rendered with a humanistic approach that sought to connect the divine with the everyday experiences of people.

"Elijah Restoring The Widow's Son" is notable for its dramatic portrayal of the moment of resurrection, capturing the intensity of the prophet's prayer and the astonishment of the onlookers. The composition focuses on the figures, with Elijah's commanding presence at the center, as he stretches himself upon the child in an act of divine intercession. The widow, seen in a state of hopeful anticipation, adds to the emotional resonance of the scene.

The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art galleries, contributing to the understanding of Ford Madox Brown's oeuvre and the broader context of Victorian art and its engagement with biblical subjects. It stands as a testament to Brown's skill in blending spiritual themes with a lifelike representation, offering viewers a poignant glimpse into the narrative and its underlying themes of faith, hope, and the power of divine intervention.
