About this work

King Jeroboam offers a sacrifice to an idol when a man of God from Judah appears. The man of God prophesies and announces the miracle that the altar will split and the ashes will fall to the ground. Jeroboam's outstretched arm becomes paralyzed when he orders the man of God to be taken prisoner. On the left in the background, the end of the man of God is depicted. The man of God is killed by a lion and dragged from his donkey. Below the image a reference in Latin to the biblical text in 1 Kings 13.
