EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 17th century depicts a pivotal moment in biblical history - Moses, consumed by anger, shattering the sacred tablets of stone. The European School artist skillfully captures the intensity and fury radiating from Moses as he confronts his people's betrayal. The scene portrays the aftermath of an act of idolatry committed by the Israelites, who had succumbed to worshipping a golden calf while Moses was receiving divine commandments on Mount Sinai. Filled with righteous indignation, Moses breaks the tablets given to him by God himself, symbolizing both his disappointment and their breach of faith. The intricate details within this print showcase its historical significance. Believed to be part of an unidentified series published in Paris by Pierre Mariette, it exemplifies religious art prevalent during that era. The black-and-white composition adds depth and drama to this powerful narrative. Beyond its artistic value, this image evokes profound emotions such as anger and rage while exploring themes like religion, cults, worship practices, and human fallibility. It serves as a visual reminder of humanity's capacity for both devotion and transgression. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back centuries into a world where faith is tested and consequences unfold before our eyes.
