Moses with the Tables of the Law
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning chiaroscuro woodcut print from the 17th century, created by the renowned German artist Ludolph Busing (also known as Ludolph Büsinck). This masterpiece, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Moses in a powerful and introspective moment as he receives the Tablets of the Law from God on Mount Sinai. The monochrome print, executed from three blocks on paper, showcases exceptional skill and detail. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the figures and the scene to life. Moses, depicted as an aged, bearded man, is seated on the ground, his eyes closed in deep concentration. He is surrounded by an entourage of figures, including angels and other biblical figures, who appear in sharp relief against the dark background. The Tablets of the Law, represented as two large, flat stones, are held aloft by two angels, their wings spread protectively over the sacred texts. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of both Christianity and Judaism, as the Old Testament story of Moses and the Ten Commandments is a foundational text for both religions. The print's historical significance is further underscored by its antique status, transporting us back to a time when such intricately detailed works of art were created by hand. The "Moses with the Tables of the Law" print is a must-see for anyone interested in art history, religious art, or the works of Ludolph Busing. Its presence in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection is a testament to the institution's commitment to preserving and showcasing important works of art for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
