The Vision of Ezekiel; a group of corpses and skeletons emerging out of tombs, above them five winged putti holding a banderole 1554

Giorgio Ghisi's 1554 etching, "The Vision of Ezekiel," depicts a scene of resurrection from the Book of Ezekiel. The central figure is a skeletal figure rising from a tomb, surrounded by other skeletons and corpses. Five winged putti hold a banderole, a scroll bearing an inscription, above the scene. This dynamic and detailed work captures the dramatic moment of resurrection, with strong contrasts of light and shadow enhancing the sense of awe and wonder. Ghisi's "The Vision of Ezekiel" offers a glimpse into the 16th-century artistic interpretation of biblical narratives, emphasizing the power of divine intervention.
