Elisha's Well, by the Italian painter Pietro Lorenzetti, is a prominent work of the early 14th century that emphasizes the stylistic transition from the Medieval Gothic style to the more naturalistic rendering prevalent in the Late Middle Ages. Not much is known about the exact date of creation this artwork, though Pietro Lorenzetti's active years were primarily between 1306 & 1345.

The painting depicts the Biblical story from the Book of Kings in the Old Testament, revolving around the prophet Elisha. In the scene, Elisha is seen purifying the spring in the city of Jericho with salt, simultaneously performing a miracle and protecting the city from the curse of barrenness.

Pietro Lorenzetti's brilliant craftsmanship is visible in the rich, vibrant color palette, angular compositions, and strong expressionism. The detailed depiction of the landscape, architecture, and the individual figures in the painting illustrates Lorenzetti's skill in maintaining the viewer’s interest and focus throughout the scene.

The influence of Lorenzetti's contemporary and friend, Duccio di Buoninsegna, is evident in the large, monumental figures that occupy the painting. However, Lorenzetti moves beyond the influence to incorporate an early sense of spatial perspective and greater individuality to his stylized figures, which became characteristic of his work and earmarked him as a significant precursor to the Renaissance. Notably, Lorenzetti's painting style was also a departure from the Byzantine style, showcasing a unique blend of gothic and early renaissance styles.

While the current location of Elisha's Well is unknown, its visual and historical significance in the history of art, particularly in relation to the transition from Gothic to Renaissance styles, continues to serve as a rich subject of study for art historians and enthusiasts.
