16th century sculpture.



Name: Moses.
Creator: Michelangelo
Year: 1513-1515
Materials: Marble
Dimensions: 235cm (92.5in)
Location: San Pietro in Vincoli, Rome
Audience: Religious, pope
Description: The marble sculpture. Depicts Moses with
horns (tongs of fire according to the bible) on his head.

Extra Information: The sculpture was commissioned
in 1505 by Pope Julius II for his tomb. This famous
work of art depicts the Biblical figure Moses with horns
on his head, symbolic of wisdom and enlightenment.




                        Moses by Michalgelo: Moses was originally meant for the
                        upper part of a much larger monument where it would
                        have been seen from below. This explains the figure's
                        unusually long torso and overly dramatic expression.
                        Notice the swollen veins in his left arm and his massive
                        shoulders, which seem too large in proportion to the
                        neck.

                        Moses is clearly related to Michelangelo's mighty seated
                        figures of prophets and sibyls on the Sistine ceiling. The
                        horns upon the head of the figure are a curiosity of the Italian
                        Renaissance. One of the biblical translations of "rays of light"
                        became "horns" in Italian, and this mistranslation led to
                        Moses being commonly portrayed with horns.
In what is probably one of the most magnificent beards in the history of art, the locks
fairly pour from Moses' broad angular face and are swept across the bulk of his chest by
powerful hands.

Notice how the face of Moses clearly recalls images of God on the Sistine ceiling,
particularly the head of the Lord in Creation of Adam and Creation of Sun, Moon, and
Plants. The knowledge Michelangelo gained from laboring over the frescoes is indeed
reflected in his sculptural work of this period, especially in the freedom and
magnificence, not seen in his earlier gigantic sculptures, with which he imbued the figure
of Moses.
