EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Moses Breaketh The Tables" is a masterpiece created by John Martin in 1833/34. Part of the "Illustrations of the Bible" series, this artwork showcases Martin's exceptional talent for capturing dramatic scenes from biblical narratives. In this particular illustration, we witness Moses at Mount Sinai as he breaks the stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments. The dark and mysterious cave in which Moses stands adds an element of intrigue to the scene, emphasizing the gravity of his actions. The rugged mountainside serves as a powerful backdrop, symbolizing both strength and isolation. Martin's use of mezzotint technique enhances the intensity and depth of emotion portrayed in this artwork. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back to 19th century Britain where religious themes were highly valued within artistic expression. The artist's attention to detail is evident throughout every inch of this print; from the intricate landscape to each individual figure present in the crowd below. This meticulousness brings life to Martin's interpretation of one of Christianity's most significant moments. "Moses Breaketh The Tables" invites us into a world where religion intertwines with artistry, creating a visual narrative that resonates even today. It reminds us not only of our shared heritage but also highlights how art can transcend time and evoke profound emotions within its viewers.
