EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Silver Age: the law of the Old Testament" we are transported back in time to an era filled with symbolism, allegories, and divine intervention. Created by Hieronymus Wierix and Jacob de Weert between 1563 and 1580, this artwork beautifully depicts the biblical narrative of Moses receiving the tablets of law from God. The scene unfolds before our eyes as men diligently plow the soil and construct humble huts, representing their commitment to building a just society based on these sacred laws. The stone staircase serves as a powerful visual metaphor for ascending towards spiritual enlightenment. As we explore further, we encounter figures such as Korah, Aaron, Dathan, Abiram, and their followers who rebel against Moses' authority. Their fate is sealed as they are dramatically swallowed by the earth itself – a stark reminder of the consequences that await those who challenge divine order. Amidst all this turmoil stands a feminine personification of justice sitting serenely on a stone staircase surrounded by patriarchs holding twenty tables. These tables represent not only religious teachings but also serve as reminders of our moral obligations towards one another. "The Silver Age" print offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our own relationship with spirituality and religion while reminding us that adherence to principles rooted in love and compassion can lead us towards harmony in both personal and communal realms. Quint Lox's masterful capture ensures that this timeless message resonates with viewers across generations.
