EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant biblical moment from the 13th century Italian School. In this artwork, titled "Moses striking water from the rock for the Israelites" we witness an awe-inspiring miracle performed by Moses himself. Painted with tempera and gold on parchment, this piece is part of the Abbey Bible made for a Dominican monastery. The scene depicts Moses leading the children of Israel out of Egypt towards their promised land. As they journey through the arid desert, thirst becomes unbearable. It is then that Moses strikes a rock with his staff, causing water to gush forth miraculously. This divine intervention quenches their thirst and provides hope during their challenging voyage. The intricate illumination and attention to detail in this medieval masterpiece showcase the artistic skill prevalent during that era. The vibrant colors and delicate brushwork bring life to each character portrayed in this religious narrative. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of an important event in Christian history but also highlights themes such as faith, miracles, and deliverance. Its inclusion in the J. Paul Getty Museum's collection further solidifies its significance within art history. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of both our own spiritual journeys and humanity's enduring quest for salvation amidst adversity.
