Moses Breaking the Tablets
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating detail from the larger fresco painting created by the Italian Mannerist artist Parmigianino, born as Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, in the Shrine of Santa Maria della Steccata in Parma, Italy, during the 16th century. This masterpiece, a testament to Parmigianino's artistic virtuosity, portrays the Old Testament story of Moses' moment of anger and despair. The biblical narrative unfolds as Moses, a pivotal figure in Jewish and Christian faiths, descends from Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments, only to find the Israelites worshiping a golden calf. In a fit of rage, Moses smashes the tablets, symbolizing the broken covenant between God and his people. In this intricately detailed image, Parmigianino masterfully captures the intensity and emotion of the scene. Moses, a powerful and muscular figure, is depicted with a furrowed brow and clenched fists as he forcefully hurls the tablets to the ground. The tablets shatter into pieces, their fragments flying in various directions, while the figure of the Angel of the Lord, hidden behind Moses, looks on with a somber expression. The use of chiaroscuro, or the contrast between light and dark, adds depth and dimension to the painting, creating a sense of drama and tension. The intricate details, from the folds in Moses' robe to the veins on his hands, showcase Parmigianino's exceptional skill as a painter. This detail from "Moses Breaking the Tablets" offers a glimpse into the rich history and artistic mastery of the Italian Mannerist period. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact that religious themes had on the art of the time and the enduring influence of Parmigianino's work.
