| Vision of Ezekiel Thessolonike, between 1371 and 1393. This icon contains a scene of the vision by the river Chebaar with which the book of Ezekiel opens. On one side the rock-lined river, in which fish are swimming, stands the prophet Ezekiel, gazing at the divine vision; on the other side the prophet Habakkuk holds an open book on which are written the opening words of the third chapter of Ezekiel. In the upper part is a medallion transected by a rainbow, in the center of which sits the imposing figure of Jesus. On the open scroll in his hands are the words of Isaih (25:9). The inscription in his halo relates the scene to his miracle in Latmos. |
