EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed section of an altarpiece painted on wood, depicting Moses. Created by the Norwegian School in the 18th century, this masterpiece can be found in Giske Church, located in More og Romsdal, Norway. The altarpiece was skillfully carved by local craftsman Tavle Jakob (Jacob D. Giskegaard), adding an exquisite touch to its overall beauty. Originally built in the 12th century and refurbished during the 1750s, Giske Church holds great historical significance. In this particular detail of the altarpiece, Moses is depicted holding the tables of law or tablets of commandments as described in ancient scriptures. The prophet's beard and horns symbolize his wisdom and divine connection. The vibrant colors used to polychrome this wooden carving add depth and richness to Moses' portrayal. This religious artwork represents a significant part of Christianity's Old Testament teachings. Captured by photographer Clement Guillaume, this print allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable piece without any commercial use intentions involved. It serves as a reminder of both artistic craftsmanship and religious devotion that have stood the test of time within Norwegian culture and heritage.
