EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Moses Choosing Seventy Elsewhere" we are transported back to a significant moment in history. The scene depicts Moses, the revered leader of the Israelites, standing amidst his people with arms outstretched in a vast plain within the desert. As our gaze extends beyond him, we catch sight of the magnificent tabernacle or ark of the covenant in the background, serving as a symbol of divine presence and guidance. The artist Jacob de Wit masterfully captures this pivotal event where Moses selects seventy elders to assist him in governing and guiding their community. With meticulous brushstrokes and vibrant colors, he brings life to each figure present on this panel. The composition is further enriched by palm trees swaying gently against an azure sky and tents dotting the landscape. This particular artwork served as a modello for a larger painting displayed in the utility room of Amsterdam's former City Hall on Dam Square. Its historical significance cannot be understated, as it immortalizes an essential episode from biblical lore that continues to inspire generations. As we contemplate this image from Liszt Collection, let us reflect upon Moses' leadership qualities - his wisdom, strength, and ability to delegate responsibilities - traits that have left an indelible mark on humanity's collective consciousness.
