EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic painting "Moses with the Ten Commandments" created between 1650 and 1660. Housed in the esteemed Musee de Picardie in Amiens, France, this masterpiece beautifully captures a pivotal moment in Jewish history. The artist skillfully portrays Moses, the revered prophet of Israel, holding two stone tablets inscribed with the divine commandments. The image serves as a powerful allegory for mankind's struggle between faith and greed. As Moses stands amidst opulence and abundance symbolized by a cornucopia, he represents repentance and spiritual awakening. In contrast, surrounding him are idols representing sinfulness and materialistic desires that lead to weakness. Through this artwork, viewers are reminded of the importance of adhering to moral principles outlined in the Bible's Old Testament. It warns against succumbing to worldly temptations such as wealth and riches while emphasizing devotion to God's teachings. The tragic episode of the golden calf is also alluded to within this painting—depicting how easily humanity can stray from righteousness when driven by avarice or idolatry. Philippe de Champaigne masterfully conveys these profound themes using oil on canvas technique, creating an evocative piece that continues to resonate with audiences today. This print invites contemplation on our own pursuit of mammon versus our commitment to living virtuously—a timeless message encapsulated within this remarkable work of art from Musee de Picardie.
