"Moise: The Story of a Leader and Prophet" Step into the world (Moses) as we delve into his remarkable journey during Pessa'h (Passover). This captivating fresco, painted by Sandro Botticelli in 1481, adorns the Vatican Sistine Chapel in Rome. It depicts an intense moment when Moses, under the sword of God's command, leads the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage. In another striking artwork by Pierre Patel from the 17th century, we witness Moses burying an Egyptian whom he had killed for striking a Hebrew. This powerful image showcases Moses' unwavering dedication to justice and protection of his people. Alessandro di Mariano dei Filipepi's breathtaking fresco captures a more intimate scene - Moses putting on his shoes before embarking on yet another monumental task. His commitment to fulfilling God's will is evident even in this seemingly mundane act. The illuminated miniatures from La Somme le Roi offer us a glimpse into ancient times. Created around 1279 by Maitre Honore and written by Frere Laurent, these delicate vellum pages depict various episodes from Moses' life with intricate detail and vibrant colors. One anonymous drawing portrays Mount Sinai where Moses encounters the Burning Bush. As he takes off his shoes in reverence to God's presence, angels surround him alongside Mary and Christ. A flock of sheep symbolizes both guidance and humility throughout this divine encounter. Engravings depicting Moise enseignant la loi (Moses teaching the law) and Moise et Josue entendent les clameurs des Israélites adorant le veau d'or (Moses and Joshua hearing the cries of Israelites worshiping the golden calf) further emphasize Moses' role as a teacher and mediator between God and His people. The Chiesa di San Moise in Venice stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Moses.
