"The Prophet Elijah Receiving Bread and Water from an Angel" is a significant Baroque painting created by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens between 1625 and 1628. This artwork depicts a scene from the Hebrew Bible, specifically 1 Kings 17:4-6, where the prophet Elijah, having been told by God to hide in the Kerith Ravine, is sustained by an angel who provides him with bread and water during a time of drought and famine.

Rubens, known for his dynamic compositions, vivid use of color, and ability to convey movement and emotion, brings this biblical story to life with his characteristic energy and drama. The painting showcases his mastery in rendering the human form, as well as his skillful use of light and shadow to emphasize the divine nature of the encounter. Elijah is typically portrayed in a state of humble acceptance, while the angel is often depicted as a graceful, ethereal being, embodying the providence and care of the divine.

The work is an example of Rubens's religious art, which was in high demand during the Counter-Reformation, a period when the Catholic Church sought to reaffirm its spiritual authority through the arts. "The Prophet Elijah Receiving Bread and Water from an Angel" not only serves as a testament to Rubens's artistry but also reflects the religious and cultural context of 17th-century Europe.

As a significant piece from Rubens's oeuvre, this painting is often studied for its iconography, composition, and technique. It is also an important work for understanding the broader trends in European art of the time, including the influence of the Italian Renaissance and the evolving tastes of the Baroque period. The painting is housed in a notable museum or private collection, contributing to the legacy of Rubens as one of the most influential artists of his time.
