Elijah in the wilderness, by Washington Allston

He preformed numerous miracles including but not limited to calling down fire from heaven and raising from the dead the son of a widow. He is recognized by his confrontations with King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, where he advocated for the worship of Yahweh (God) alone.
