EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Ezekiel's vision of a chariot in the sky, as described in the Bible (Ezekiel II:9) around 614 BC. Ezekiel, one of the four great Hebrew prophets, witnessed this extraordinary event that has puzzled scholars for centuries. In modern times, there is an intriguing explanation proposed by scientists - that what Ezekiel observed were parhelia or "mock suns". This phenomenon occurs when sunlight reflects off water droplets or minute particles in Earth's atmosphere. The woodcut image from Conrad Lycosthenes' Prodigiorum ac ostentorum chronicon, published in Basel in 1557, beautifully depicts this ancient vision. The intricate details and artistic interpretation bring to life the awe-inspiring moment experienced by Ezekiel. The significance of this vision extends beyond its meteorological implications; it holds profound religious and cultural importance within Judeo-Christian literature. As part of the Old Testament, Ezekiel's account serves as a testament to his prophetic abilities and divine connection. This thought-provoking print not only invites us to marvel at the visual representation but also encourages contemplation on faith and spirituality. It reminds us that even phenomena rooted in science can evoke wonderment and inspire deep reflection on our place within the vastness of existence.
