EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BURIAL OF MOSES" takes us back in time to witness a significant biblical event. The image portrays the burial of Moses, as described in Deuteronomy 35: 5-6, where he is laid to rest in a serene valley located in the land of Moab. Crafted as a woodcut from the Cologne Bible between 1478 and 1480, this medieval artwork showcases the German artistic expertise prevalent during that era. The scene unfolds with solemnity and reverence. A group of men, presumably Israelites, gather around Moses' casket while an angel hovers above them. Moses himself is depicted with a flowing beard, symbolizing his wisdom and connection to God. As they dig his final resting place with shovels, their actions reflect both grief and respect for their great leader. This powerful image not only holds significance within Christianity but also resonates deeply within Judaism. It serves as a reminder of Moses' pivotal role as the deliverer of God's Torah to the Israelite people. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully captured this historical moment through their meticulous reproduction process. This print allows viewers to appreciate the intricate details found within this woodcut masterpiece while immersing themselves in its spiritual essence.
