Elijah and the Angel is a 1672 oil by Godfrey Kneller, a Early Baroque Italian work, depicting Elijah, held at Tate.
This painting shows an angel and a man. The angel is on the left, wearing a white robe with her wings spread out. She has long blonde hair and is reaching out to the man. The man is sitting on the ground, wearing a red and yellow robe. He has a long white beard and is looking up at the angel. The background is dark, which makes the angel and the man stand out. The angel's wings are very detailed, and you can see the folds in her robe. The man's face is serious, and he looks like he's listening to the angel.
