Profeet Jesaja

The prophet is shown as a muscular, bearded man in classical drapery, looking off to the side with a stern expression. He holds a massive saw, the traditional instrument of his martyrdom, while his other hand holds a writing tool to represent his role as a biblical author. Behind him, a rugged terrain leads to a fortified city on a hill, suggesting the historical Jerusalem.

Isaiah is a central figure in the Western prophetic tradition, whose visions of the Divine Throne (Merkavah) were foundational to both Jewish Kabbalah and Christian mysticism. In the early modern period, he was often grouped with the 'prisca theologia,' ancient sages whose writings were believed to contain kernels of universal, esoteric truth.
