EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful 19th-century engraving captures the intense moment when Moses, filled with righteous anger and determination, destroys the golden calf after receiving the table of the law. The scene is taken from 'L'histoire sainte' by Lahure, depicting a pivotal event in biblical history.
Moses, a revered figure in Judaism and Christianity, is shown as an iconoclast taking action against idolatry. His emotions are palpable - his face contorted with rage as he shatters the false idol that had been worshipped by the Israelites. The engraver has masterfully captured this moment of intense emotion and destruction.
The black-and-white imagery adds to the dramatic effect of this scene, emphasizing the gravity of Moses' actions and their significance in religious history. The composition highlights Moses as a central figure in this biblical event, showcasing his role as a prophet and leader chosen by God to guide his people.
This print serves as a reminder of the importance of faith and devotion while also underscoring themes of obedience and worship. It is a striking portrayal of one man's unwavering commitment to upholding divine commandments even in moments of great challenge and temptation.
