Elijah fed by the ravens, Roelant Savery (workshop of), 1634

As usual in Savery’s oeuvre, the subject, in this case the biblical story of Elijah fed by ravens, is subordinated to the landscape. According to Walford, it is the rays of sunlight that give the scene its religious nature,2 but such rays are frequently found in the artist’s non-religious works.3 The date, which is difficult to read, has hitherto been taken to be 1634, which is plausible. There is a difference in quality between various parts of the composition. The rocks on the left and right are rendered as piles of round and oval shapes, which is uncharacteristic of Savery and lacks conviction. The animals and the flowing water, on the other hand, are executed in his distinctive, refined manner. A possible explanation for these inconsistencies is that Savery worked on the picture with his nephew, Hans Savery II, or some other collaborator.
