Visioen van Ezechiël over het dal van beenderen 1606

"Visioen van Ezechiël over het dal van beenderen" (Vision of Ezekiel over the Valley of Bones), a 1606 engraving by Nicolaes de Bruyn, depicts a scene from the Book of Ezekiel. The artwork, located in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the prophet Ezekiel standing amidst a field of resurrected bodies, a vision of hope and renewal. De Bruyn's masterful use of light and shadow, coupled with intricate detail, brings this biblical story to life. The contrast between the skeletal figures and the lush landscape further emphasizes the miraculous nature of the event. This piece, an example of Dutch Baroque art, is a testament to the power of faith and the potential for rebirth.
