EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print depicts the Second Tablet of the Law, also known as the Ten Commandments, as described in the Book of Exodus (34:29-35). The scene unfolds on a mountainous backdrop, where Moses, with hands raised in prayer, receives the divine revelation from God. The Old Testament narrative recounts that after the sin of the Golden Calf, God granted Moses a second opportunity to carve the commandments on two tablets, which were then inscribed by the divine hand. The intricately detailed print reveals the Ten Commandments, inscribed on the tablets, with the first four commandments focused on the relationship between God and humanity, and the last six commandments addressing human relationships. The commandments are written in Hebrew, reflecting the biblical origin of this foundational text in Jewish and Christian traditions. The Second Tablet is a powerful symbol of the covenant between God and His people, emphasizing the importance of obedience and righteousness. This print serves as a testament to the enduring significance of the Ten Commandments in shaping the moral and ethical frameworks of Western civilization. The prayerful pose of Moses underscores the profound reverence and awe inspired by this sacred text, making this print a captivating and inspiring addition to any collection of religious art or biblical imagery.
