EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration from the renowned Dore Bible, created by Gustave Dore in 1866. The image depicts a pivotal moment in biblical history as Moses breaks the tablets of law containing the Ten Commandments. After descending from Mount Sinai, Moses is overcome with anger and frustration at his people's betrayal of God's commandments. Dore's intricate wood engraving beautifully captures the intensity of this scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing to life the raw emotion and fury that radiate from Moses' face. The powerful imagery is further enhanced by the inclusion of forked lightning striking down from dark storm clouds above, symbolizing divine wrath. Published as part of La Grande Bible de Tours, Dore's illustrations became immensely popular during their time. This particular piece resonates not only for its religious significance but also for its artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to ancient times and reminded of humanity's eternal struggle with faith and obedience. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great leaders like Moses can be consumed by anger when confronted with disobedience.
