EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite icon depicting a pivotal biblical moment - Moses striking the rock. Created in the early 19th century by the Russian School, this masterpiece is a fusion of various materials including painted copper, wood, amethyst, beryl, obsidian, and rock-crystal. Measuring at an impressive 60.7x71.1 cm, it resides in a private collection. The scene depicted captures Moses standing before a majestic coastline with a large group of people surrounding him. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element; from the intricate decorative techniques adorning the icon to the vibrant colors that bring life to each figure present. The significance of this religious artwork lies within its portrayal of one of Moses' most iconic moments as described in the Holy Bible's Book of Exodus. With his staff raised high above his head, he strikes the rock and miraculously water gushes forth into a stream below. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to ancient times - witnessing firsthand both awe-inspiring natural phenomena and profound spiritual events unfolding before our eyes. This piece serves as a testament not only to Christian beliefs but also to human creativity and craftsmanship during the early 19th century. Whether you are drawn by its historical value or captivated by its artistic beauty, this extraordinary print offers us an opportunity to connect with both our faith and artistry from centuries past.
