EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment when Moses breaks the tables of the law in front of a terrified Hebrew people who are worshiping before the golden calf. Painted by Domenico Beccafumi in 1537, this oil on wood masterpiece measures 197x139cm and is housed in the Cathedrale of Pisa, Italy. The painting depicts Moses' anger as he dares to shatter the very tablets on which the Ten Commandments are inscribed. The Hebrew people cower before him, their expressions filled with fear and anxiety. This scene from biblical history showcases Beccafumi's mastery in capturing human emotions and storytelling through art. The artist skillfully portrays not only Moses' rage but also the deep sense of betrayal felt by both him and his followers. The presence of the golden calf symbolizes their sinful act of idolatry, further intensifying their guilt and shame. Through this artwork, Beccafumi invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as sin, religion, and redemption. It serves as a powerful reminder that even those chosen by God can falter in their faithfulness. Luisa Ricciarini's print beautifully preserves this significant piece of Italian Renaissance art for all to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
