About this work
Elijah Is Taken Up to Heaven in a Chariot of Fire, with Horses Before It. Elisha Just Catches His Mantle. In the Background It Can Be Seen How Elisha Then Strikes the Water with Elijah's Mantle So That It Flows to the Left and Right and He Can Cross the River. Thereby He Gains the Recognition of the Prophets on the Other Side. In the Margin a Three-Line Bible Quotation from 2 Kings 2 in Latin.
