Michelangelo
Buonarroti (1475-1564), born in Tuscany and educated in Florence, undertook
his most ambitious work in Rome for Julius II, a warrior pope whose terrible
temper did not exclude a sensitivity to art. He commissioned Michelangelo to
sculpt his tomb of which the statue of Moses is the summary of the entire
monument.
We
see Moses with the Tables of the Law that contain the Ten Commandments
on his right hand. He looks irately at the Jews after coming down from Mt.
Sinai and finding them worshipping the Golden Calf – the false idol they had
made. His left hand, veins throbbing, muscles tense, appears to be holding
back from violent action.
The extraordinary force of this figure, the tension
in the veins and muscles, the posture and the furious expression, have rightly
made this Moses one of the most admired masterpieces of all time. The horns
represent the "rays of light" that were seen around Moses' face after his
meeting with God on Mt Sinai.
