At the hallowed Church of Saint-Thomas d'Aquinas in Paris, the Tetragrammaton, the sacred four-letter name of God in Hebrew, symbolizing His omnipotence, is reverently depicted. In this European masterpiece, a preacher addresses a devout congregation, some bowing towards a vision of the divine. The Quadrivium Sionis titlepage, John Monlas's Four Ways to Sion, illustrates the Tetragrammaton as the gateway to spiritual enlightenment. Nicolaes de Bruyn's woodcuts, including the Fifth Vision of Ezra, depict divine revelations, such as the Vision of Ezekiel across the valley of bones, where the Tetragrammaton is present, emphasizing God's power and presence. The marriage of Christ and His Church is symbolized in a medallion, with the Tetragrammaton subtly incorporated, reminding us of the divine union. The Angel Appears to St. Francis of Paola, as depicted by Hieronymus Wierix, conveys the Tetragrammaton's message of divine guidance and protection. Pierre Gallays and Nicolaes de Bruyn's renditions of the Fifth Vision of Ezra further emphasize the Tetragrammaton's significance, as the name of God is present in the vision, signifying His omniscience and omnipresence. Jan van Londerseel and Claes Jansz's depiction of the Embarkation of Noah's Ark underscores the Tetragrammaton's role as the guiding force in the face of adversity, while Landscape with Faith, behind her the cross, she holds a palm branch in one hand, serves as a reminder of the Tetragrammaton's promise of salvation and eternal life.
