Elijah and the Chariot of Fire

2 Kings 2

Elijah taken up into heaven in a chariot of fire while his disciple Elisha watches and receives his mantle — the Old Testament's most dramatic exit.

About this piece

This scene is one of nine in an original Old Testament series built as a single visual system — one palette, one geometry, one light across all of them, with no black outline and no reused stock or public-domain engravings. It works for catechesis on succession, discipleship and the prophetic mission, and holds up just as well as a standalone piece or alongside the rest of the series.

Because it's vectorized, the same artwork scales from a parish bulletin insert to a full-bleed banner without being redrawn.
