Quote: “The Vision of Ezekiel at the National Gallery refers to David Bomberg's 1912 painting, shown in an exhibition alongside Old Masters that inspired him, depicting the prophet's vision of resurrection (valley of dry bones) with figures embracing in wonder. It's a significant early Modernist work exploring Jewish heritage, spiritual awakening, and the fusion of past and present art. Bomberg's work is now often associated with the Tate Gallery where it resides, not the National Gallery”
The theme of Resurrection predates Christianity as it is found within Judaism. Here is an old article from this website – References to the Resurrection older than the Gospels.
Henry Lincoln was quoted as saying “The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail was 20 years out of date” in The Times, 27 August 2005, but he was missing the point entirely – “The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail” was well out-of-date when it was first published on 18 January 1982. Henry Lincoln did not know anything about Judaism and Christianity any more than he knew about the Priory of Sion and Rennes-le-Château.
