Ascension of Elijah, Johannes Wierix, after Maerten de Vos, 1582 - 1583, Elijah is carried off to heaven in a chariot of fire, with horses in front. Elisha just catches his cloak. In the background we see how Elisha then beats the water with Elijah's cloak so that it flows left and right and he can cross the river. In doing so he wins the recognition of the prophets on the other side. In the margin a three-line Bible quote from 2 Kings 2 in Latin., print maker: Johannes Wierix, (mentioned on object), Maerten de Vos, (mentioned on object), publisher: Johann Sadeler (I), (mentioned on object), Antwerp, 1582 - 1583, paper, engraving, h 250 mm × w 204 mm
