EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Moses destroys the Tables" takes us back to the 19th century with its intricate details and timeless beauty. The artwork, created by an English School artist, depicts a pivotal moment from the Old Testament. In this scene, Moses is seen in a state of anger and frustration as he smashes the stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments. This dramatic event occurred after Moses descended from Mount Sinai only to find his people worshipping a golden calf instead of following God's commandments. The illustration was originally featured in Edwin Dalton's book "Art Pictures from the Old Testament and Our Lords Parables" published around 1880. It showcases not only the skillful craftsmanship of the engraver but also their ability to bring biblical stories to life through art. The attention to detail is remarkable as every line and shadow adds depth and emotion to Moses' expression. The furniture surrounding him serves as a reminder that this significant event took place within human dwellings rather than on some distant mountaintop. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time, allowing us to reflect on our own relationship with faith and obedience. It serves as a powerful reminder that even great leaders like Moses can succumb to human weaknesses while teaching us about forgiveness, redemption, and ultimately finding our way back onto righteous paths.
