EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Stoning of Moses, Joshua and Caleb" a Byzantine artwork dating back to the 5th century. The original piece was created during the Middle Ages, but this particular photograph was taken in the early 20th century. Preserved within a wooden frame, this artifact is currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The image portrays a scene from the Old Testament where biblical characters Moses, Joshua, and Caleb face persecution through stoning. The mosaic artwork is meticulously crafted using glass tesserae, creating a stunning decorative display that captures both religious significance and historical heritage. In this close-up shot, we witness an intense moment as stones are thrown by an unseen crowd towards these brave men who stood firm in their faith. Their portraits reflect courage amidst cruelty as they endure persecution for their beliefs. Through this reproduction photograph, viewers can appreciate the intricate details of Byzantine artistry while contemplating themes of devotion and sacrifice. It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's complex relationship with religion throughout history. Although its creator remains unknown to us today, this remarkable artefact continues to inspire awe and reverence among visitors at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
