Jan Orlandi

Jan Orlandi carved the prophet Ezekiel in 1602 as a black-and-white print: a single sheet where lines twist into a dry landscape and a robed figure kneels before a flaming wheel. The image feels more like a theological diagram than a portrait, the way the wheel’s spokes fan out like compass points. If you’ve ever seen Dürer’s woodcuts or Rembrandt’s etchings, this shares their sharp, deliberate bite. Tap to zoom in on the serpent coiled at Ezekiel’s feet—every scale is a deliberate notch in the burin’s path.
