Vision of Ezekiel is an oil by Unknown, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This painting depicts a scene with a central figure, likely a man, surrounded by various elements. He appears to be seated on a cloud or in the air, with his arms outstretched and his torso exposed. To his left is a winged figure, possibly an angel, reaching out towards him. On his right is a smaller, winged figure, and below him are several dark, winged creatures that resemble demons or monsters. The background of the painting is a light color, which contrasts with the darker tones of the figures and creatures. The painting's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and drama to the scene.
