13th Aaron Bare Defeat Ensure Feet Hebrew Held Israelites Lawgiver Millais Moses Prophet Success Watches 14th Amalekites
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the biblical figure Moses, the Hebrew prophet and lawgiver, as he watches the Israelites triumphantly defeat their ancient enemies, the Amalekites. Painted by the renowned English Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, in collaboration with John Everett Millais and George Frederic Watts, this masterpiece is titled "Moses and the Prophets." Moses, portrayed with a long, flowing white beard and a distinctive bald crown, stands atop a rocky outcropping, his arms outstretched and supported by his brother Aaron, on his left, and the elder Hur on his right. The Israelites, clad in armor and armed with shields and spears, engage the Amalekites in fierce battle below. The painting, created in the late 14th or early 15th century, is a testament to the rich history and enduring legacy of the Hebrew people. The intricate details, from the textured robes and armor to the expressive faces of the figures, bring the biblical narrative to life. Moses' bald head, a symbol of his divine connection and leadership, contrasts with the lush, curly hair of Aaron and Hur. Their strong, muscular bodies and determined expressions convey the intensity and focus of the Israelites' struggle for survival. The painting's historical significance is further emphasized by the inclusion of various biblical references. The Israelites' victory over the Amalekites is recounted in the Book of Exodus, where it is described as a crucial moment in the Israelites' journey from slavery in Egypt to the promised land. This evocative print is a must-have for anyone interested in biblical history, art history, or the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Its intricate details, rich symbolism, and powerful narrative make it a captivating addition to any collection.
