Elijah Anoints Elisha is a 1549 ink by Augustin Hirschvogel, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a scene from the Bible, with Elijah anointing Elisha. Elijah is shown holding a vessel, while Elisha is plowing a field with oxen. The scene is set in a rural landscape, with a house and trees visible in the background. The image is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with intricate lines and shading. The use of etching as a medium adds a sense of depth and texture to the image. The level of detail and realism in this image is reminiscent of the work of Hirschvogel, Augustin.
Augustin Hirschvogel (1503 – February 1553) was a German artist, mathematician, and cartographer known primarily for his etchings.
