Moses and the Burning Bush, from Illustrations of the Bible 1833

This etching by John Martin, titled *Moses and the Burning Bush*, depicts a scene from the Old Testament, a key moment in the story of Moses. Created in 1833, the print features a dramatic, mountainous landscape, with Moses standing in awe before a burning bush, surrounded by a radiant light. Martin's use of strong contrasts between light and dark, and his depiction of the vastness of nature, create a powerful and awe-inspiring image that captures the significance of the biblical event. The work is a fine example of 19th century Romanticism.
