This etching, "The Transfiguration", by Giovanni Battista Piranesi depicts the biblical story of Jesus' transfiguration, in which he appears before his apostles with a radiant glow, as Moses and Elijah stand beside him. Piranesi's dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as the dynamic poses of the figures, creates a sense of awe and wonder, emphasizing the divine nature of the event. The etching is a testament to Piranesi's skill as a draftsman and engraver, and his ability to capture the grandeur of the biblical story.
