Mozes met de stenen tafelen der wet c. 1555 - 1600

This anonymous etching, "Mozes met de stenen tafelen der wet," depicts the biblical story of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments. Created in the Netherlands during the late 16th century, this artwork displays a detailed landscape with Moses descending a rocky hillside, the tablets of the law clutched in his hand. In the distance, God appears in a swirling cloud, symbolizing the divine presence. The artwork is a fine example of the Dutch Renaissance style, which emphasized detail and naturalism in its depictions. This artwork can be found in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
