Mose wird berufen, Israel aus Ägypten zu führen (Der brennende Dornbusch) 1844

"Mose wird berufen, Israel aus Ägypten zu führen (Der brennende Dornbusch)" is an 1844 engraving by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, a German artist known for his illustrations of the Bible. The scene depicts the moment when God calls Moses from a burning bush, commanding him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. The detailed engraving showcases Moses's awe and humility as he kneels before God, while a flock of sheep symbolizes his shepherd role. This artwork, now housed in the Städel Museum, is a powerful representation of a pivotal moment in the Old Testament and exemplifies Schnorr's masterful use of linework to create a dramatic and compelling narrative.
