EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in biblical history - Moses breaking the Tablets of the Law and the Adoration of the Golden Calf. Illustrated from a catechism called L Histoire Sainte, published by Charles Delagrave in late 19th century Paris, this color lithograph showcases the talent of French School artists. The image depicts Moses atop Mount Sinai, his arms raised in both anger and pleading forgiveness as he witnesses his people's betrayal. The Israelites, having succumbed to their sinful nature, are shown worshipping a false idol - the golden calf. This powerful scene from Genesis evokes strong emotions and serves as an educational tool for religious instruction. The illustration beautifully portrays Moses' fury as he hurls down the tablets inscribed with God's commandments. It highlights not only his righteous anger but also emphasizes the consequences of disobeying divine laws. The artist skillfully captures this dramatic moment that symbolizes both human frailty and God's unwavering authority. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this image is intended for children's education on religious matters. It serves as a reminder of worship gone astray and warns against idolatry – one of Judaism's core teachings. Through its depiction of intense emotion and destruction, it conveys important lessons about sinfulness while reinforcing faith in higher powers. Overall, this remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into ancient Hebrew history while encouraging contemplation on morality and spirituality across different religions.
