EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment when Moses breaks the tablets of the law, as depicted by Gustave Dore in his renowned Bible illustrations. The scene unfolds after Moses descends from Mount Sinai to find the children of Israel worshipping a golden calf, causing his anger to flare up. In an act of righteous indignation, he casts the sacred tablets out of his hands and shatters them beneath the mount. Dore's masterful drawing skillfully brings this biblical event to life, showcasing Moses' powerful emotions and capturing the gravity of this pivotal moment in religious history. The colorization adds depth and vibrancy to Dore's original black-and-white artwork, enhancing its visual impact. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Moses' unwavering commitment to God's commandments but also of humanity's propensity for straying from righteousness. It serves as a timeless reminder that even those chosen by divine providence can stumble on their spiritual journey. This print is not just a work of art; it is a testament to faith and devotion that transcends time and culture. It invites us to reflect on our own adherence to moral principles and challenges us to confront our own weaknesses with courage and humility. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this significant piece from Dore's collection, allowing us access into both artistic brilliance and profound religious narratives.
