EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the biblical story of Moses breaking the commandment tablets. Illustrated by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, a renowned artist of the nineteenth century, this artwork brings to life Exodus chapter XXXII verse 19. As described in the Bible, Moses witnesses his people worshipping a golden calf and becomes consumed with anger. In an act of frustration and disappointment, he hurls the sacred tablets out of his hands, shattering them beneath Mount Sinai. Schnorr von Carolsfeld's intricate drawing skillfully portrays Moses' intense emotions as he confronts this betrayal. The artist's attention to detail allows viewers to witness every nuance on Moses' face – from his furrowed brow to his clenched fists – conveying both righteous indignation and deep sorrow. The significance of this scene lies not only in its artistic representation but also in its religious symbolism. The shattered tablets symbolize the broken covenant between God and His people due to their idolatry. This event serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's propensity for straying from divine guidance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of the timeless lessons found within ancient texts like Exodus. It prompts us to reflect on our own actions and choices while urging us towards greater faithfulness and adherence to moral principles that transcend time itself.
