"Prophet Eliseus and the Woman of Sunem (detail)" is a 1664 painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerbrand van den Eeckhout. Van den Eeckhout, a pupil of Rembrandt, is known for his historical and biblical scenes, and this work exemplifies his ability to convey narrative and emotion through his mastery of light and composition.

The painting depicts a scene from the Old Testament, specifically from the Second Book of Kings, Chapter 4. The narrative centers around the prophet Elisha (Eliseus in Latin) and a wealthy woman from Shunem (Sunem) who offers him hospitality. In gratitude for her kindness, Elisha prophesies that she will bear a son despite her husband's old age. The prophecy comes true, but the child later falls ill and dies. The woman seeks out Elisha, who miraculously revives the boy, showcasing themes of faith, divine intervention, and the power of prophecy.

Van den Eeckhout's rendering of this biblical story is notable for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro, a technique he inherited from his mentor Rembrandt. The interplay of light and shadow not only highlights the central figures but also imbues the scene with a sense of spiritual gravitas. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the rich textures of the fabrics and the expressive faces of the characters, which convey a range of emotions from despair to hope.

This painting is a testament to van den Eeckhout's skill in narrative painting and his ability to infuse biblical stories with a sense of immediacy and human emotion. It remains a significant example of 17th-century Dutch religious art, reflecting the period's deep engagement with biblical themes and the influence of Rembrandt's dramatic style.
