In the history of old Romanian painting, the icon of Saint John the Baptist with scenes from his life from Budești‑Josani occupies a very important place due to its exceptional artistic quality, as well as the Slavonic inscription with the master’s signature and date.

An analysis of William Foy’s visions are compared with Ellen White’s, noting that the two shared the same vision. Both visions are ultimately traced to the apocryphal work of 2 Esdras, popular among Millerites, allowing us to analyze how both Foy and White utilized the Apocrypha in their visionary renditions.
