EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the 15th-century Nuremberg Bible, depicting the Death of Moses as described in Deuteronomy 34. The coloured woodcut, created by an anonymous German artist, beautifully captures the solemnity and significance of this biblical event. In the image, we witness a group of diggers or gravediggers engaged in burying Moses. With their spades and shovels, they diligently excavate a grave while an angel overlooks the proceedings. This celestial being symbolizes divine intervention and serves as a reminder of Moses' close relationship with God throughout his life. The composition exudes reverence and respect for the deceased leader. A coffin is prominently displayed at the center, ready to receive its revered occupant. Surrounding it are intricate details that add depth to this poignant moment - from tombstones to mourners paying their last respects. The Nuremberg Bible was renowned for its exquisite illustrations that brought biblical stories to life for readers during medieval times. This particular woodcut exemplifies both artistic skill and religious devotion prevalent in German art during that era. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history through its rich symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship. It reminds us not only of our mortality but also celebrates the enduring legacy left behind by influential figures like Moses who shaped our spiritual heritage.
