"Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath" is a significant biblical-themed painting by the Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, known as Guercino. Created in 1649, this artwork depicts the Old Testament story from the First Book of Kings, where the prophet Elijah is sent by God to the Sidonian town of Zarephath during a famine. There, he meets a widow who is gathering sticks to prepare what she believes will be her last meal with her son. Elijah asks her for water and bread, and though she initially expresses her limited resources, she complies after Elijah promises that her jar of flour will not be spent and her jug of oil will not run dry until the Lord sends rain upon the earth.

The painting is renowned for its dramatic expression and use of light, typical of Guercino’s mature style. It captures the moment of interaction between Elijah and the widow, emphasizing themes of faith, providence, and miracle. The work is noted for its emotional depth, rendered through the poignant expressions of the figures and the dynamic composition. This piece not only reflects Guercino's mastery of color and form but also serves as a profound religious and ethical reflection on charity and divine intervention.

"Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath" is housed in the Pinacoteca Civica di Cento, Guercino's hometown, forming a crucial part of the collection that celebrates the artist's significant contributions to Baroque art. This painting remains an important study for scholars interested in religious art and Baroque aesthetics, offering insights into the era's artistic and cultural contexts.
