"The Prophet Elisha" is a 1566 painting by the Italian artist, architect, and writer Giorgio Vasari. Known for his contributions to art as well as his biographical writings on artists in his book "Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects," Vasari was a central figure in the Italian Renaissance. This particular work is part of a series of frescoes created for the dome of the Pucci Chapel in the church of SS. Annunziata in Florence, Italy.

The painting depicts the biblical figure Elisha, who was a prophet and a wonder-worker in the Hebrew Bible, the Christian Old Testament, and the Quran. Elisha was the disciple and successor of the prophet Elijah and is revered for his miracles and his leadership in the northern kingdom of Israel. In Vasari's depiction, Elisha is likely shown in a moment of divine inspiration or performing one of his many miracles, which include the healing of the sick and the multiplication of food.

Vasari's work on the Pucci Chapel frescoes is characterized by his Mannerist style, which is evident in the elongated figures, dramatic use of color, and complex compositions that were typical of the period. "The Prophet Elisha" is no exception, showcasing Vasari's skill in creating dynamic and emotionally charged religious scenes. The fresco would have been designed to inspire awe and devotion in the viewers, contributing to the spiritual atmosphere of the chapel.

As a significant work by Vasari, "The Prophet Elisha" not only demonstrates his artistic talent but also reflects the religious and cultural context of 16th-century Florence. The fresco is an important example of Renaissance art and offers insight into the period's religious iconography, as well as the stylistic developments that were occurring in Italian painting during Vasari's lifetime.
