Moses (Michelangelo) 1 Moses (Michelangelo) Moses (Michelangelo) 1 Moses (Michelangelo) Moses Artist Michelangelo [1] Year c. 1513 – 1515 Type Marble Dimensions 235 cm (92.5 in) Location San Pietro in Vincoli, Rome The Moses (c. 1513–1515) is a sculpture by the Italian High Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. Commissioned in 1505 by Pope Julius II for his tomb, it depicts the Biblical figure Moses with horns on his head, based on a description in the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible used at that time. Description The marble sculpture depicts Moses with horns on his head. This was the normal medieval Western depiction of Moses, based on the description of Moses' face as "cornuta" ("horned") in the Latin Vulgate translation of Exodus.[2] The Douay-Rheims Bible translates the Vulgate as, "And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord."[3] The Greek in the Septuagint translates as, "Moses knew not that the appearance of the skin of his face was glorified."[4] The Hebrew Masoretic text also uses words equivalent to "radiant",[5] suggesting an effect like a halo. Horns were symbolic of authority in ancient Near Eastern culture, and the medieval depiction had the advantage of giving Moses a convenient attribute by which he could easily be recognized in crowded pictures. According to Giorgio Vasari in his Life of Michelangelo, the Jews of Rome came like "flocks of starlings" to admire the statue every Shabat. Moses (Michelangelo) 2 Tomb of Julius II The tomb was originally commissioned in 1505 yet was not completed until 1545 in a much reduced scale. Originally intended for St. Peter's Basilica, "Moses" and the tomb were instead placed in the minor church of San Pietro in Vincoli on the Esquiline in Rome after the pope's death. This church was patronised by the della Rovere family from which Julius came, and he had been titular cardinal there. The tomb of Julius II was a colossal structure that would have given Michelangelo the room he needed for his superhuman, tragic beings. This project became one of the great disappointments of Michelangelo's life when the pope, for unexplained reasons, interrupted the commission, possibly because funds had to be diverted for Bramante's rebuilding of St. Peter's.[6] The original project called for a freestanding, three-level structure with some 40 statues. After the pope's death in 1513, the scale of the project was reduced step-by-step until, in April 1532,[7] a final contract with the heirs of Pope Julius II specified a simple wall tomb with fewer than one-third of the originally planned figures.[8] The spirit of the tomb may be summed up in the figure of "Moses", which was completed during one of the sporadic resumptions of the work in 1513. Michelangelo felt that this was his most life-like creation. Legend has it that upon its completion he struck the right knee commanding, "now speak!" as he felt that life was the only thing left inside the marble. There is a scar on the knee thought to be the mark of Michelangelo's hammer. Other sculptures The statues of the "Dying Slave" and the "Rebellious Slave" were finished but not included in the monument in its last and reduced design. They are now in the Louvre. Another figure intended for Pope Julius' tomb is the "Genius of Victory", now in the Palazzo Vecchio of Florence. The tomb of Julius II, with Michelangelo's statues of Rachel and Leah on the left and the right of his Moses. Moses (Michelangelo) 3 "Dying Slave" "Rebellious Slave" "The Genius of Victory" (1533–1534) Other sculptures for the tomb were the "Young Slave", the "Atlas Slave", the "Bearded Slave" and the "Awakening Slave". The sculptures of Rachel and Leah, allegories of the contemplative and the active life, were executed by Raffaello da Montelupo, a pupil of Michelangelo. The other sculptures are by less experienced pupils. Interpretations In his essay entitled The Moses of Michelangelo, the Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud, along with several well-respected experts, associates this work with the first set of Tables described in Exodus 32[9] : (19) “And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.” A more recent view, put forward by Malcolm MacMillan and Peter Swales in their essay entitled Observations from the Refuse-Heap: Freud, Michelangelo’s Moses, and Psychoanalysis,[10] relates the sculpture to a second set of Tables and the event mentioned in Exodus 33[11] : (22) And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:” and (23) And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. This event is described further in Exodus 34[12] : (4) And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone. (5) And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. (6) And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, (7) Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. (8) And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. Even though Sigmund Freud never associates the statue with this latter event his description includes the following: “As our eyes travel down it the figure exhibits three distinct emotional strata. The lines of the face reflect the feelings Moses (Michelangelo) 4 which have won ascendancy; the middle of the figure shows the traces of suppressed movement; and the foot still retains the attitude of the projected action. It is as though the controlling influence had proceeded downwards from above."

  • 1 the Rest God Gives Joshua 1:10-18 Hebrews 4
    1 The Rest God Gives Joshua 1:10-18 Hebrews 4; Numbers 16 & Luke 9 The Bible is the revelation of God. In it, we learn who God is, how to relate to him, what he requires, blesses and curses. This is important, because as the book of Genesis and Exodus demonstrate, there is only one God to whom we must respond and whom we cannot escape. Book’s Theme: 21:45 - Thus the LORD gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their 44 fathers. And they took possession of it, and they settled there. And the LORD gave them rest on every side just as he had sworn to their fathers. Not one of all their enemies had withstood them, 45 for the LORD had given all their enemies into their hands. Not one word of all the good promises that the LORD had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass. In Joshua, Israel has left Egypt, wandered for 40 years and is now camped on the eastern side of the Jordan River, ready to cross into the Promised Land. Picture of Map of Israel crossing Jordan River 1:2 - …arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. Last week we saw two important things: 1 – God is giving Israel the land but that does not absolve Israel of responsibility. 2 – God works through Joshua as the people’s representative. V 6 - Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.

  • 2 Disambiguating Moses' Book Of
    2 DISAMBIGUATING MOSES’ BOOK OF LAW Efforts to delineate the contents of Moses’ book of the law face the chal- lenge of a variety of ambiguous terms and references. The phrase “this law” -occurs nineteen times in Deuteronomy, five times in con ( ַה ָ תּוֹרה ַהזּ ֹאת) and once in connection with 85( ֵסֶפר) ”nection with the word “book ,The terms “law” and “book” are themselves ambiguous 86.( ֲאָבִנים) ”stones“ can mean “instruction” or “teaching” in addition to the law and ָ תּוֹרה since can denote any written surface, from an ancient scroll to engraved ֵסֶפר stone (Barton 1998:2, 13). In 31:9, the narrator reports that Moses wrote “this law” and handed the document over to the Levites and elders with instructions for periodic reading. A little later, the narrator reports that Moses wrote “the words of this law” in “a book” which he consequently handed over to the Levites for deposition beside the ark of the covenant (31:24). Added to the polyvalent terminology and multiple reports of writ- ing are the ancillary terms “testimonies,” “commandments,” “statutes,” and “ordinances” (e.g., 4:44-5). Scholars have resorted to various means to delineate a document bur- dened so with diverse signification. In the process, some scholars have fallen into debate over the swept volume of a plastered stele so that they might better determine whether the entire Deuteronomic (sic) text (chs. 1- 34) could have been etched on its surface (cf. 27:3). While Eugene H. Merrill argues that a plastered stele could not have contained the entire Deuteronomic text, (1994:342), Jeffrey H.

  • NAT TURNER's REVOLT: REBELLION and RESPONSE in SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA by PATRICK H. BREEN (Under the Direction of Emory
    NAT TURNER’S REVOLT: REBELLION AND RESPONSE IN SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA by PATRICK H. BREEN (Under the Direction of Emory M. Thomas) ABSTRACT In 1831, Nat Turner led a revolt in Southampton County, Virginia. The revolt itself lasted little more than a day before it was suppressed by whites from the area. Many people died during the revolt, including the largest number of white casualties in any single slave revolt in the history of the United States. After the revolt was suppressed, Nat Turner himself remained at-large for more than two months. When he was captured, Nat Turner was interviewed by whites and this confession was eventually published by a local lawyer, Thomas R. Gray. Because of the number of whites killed and the remarkable nature of the Confessions, the revolt has remained the most prominent revolt in American history. Despite the prominence of the revolt, no full length critical history of the revolt has been written since 1937. This dissertation presents a new history of the revolt, paying careful attention to the dynamic of the revolt itself and what the revolt suggests about authority and power in Southampton County. The revolt was a challenge to the power of the slaveholders, but the crisis that ensued revealed many other deep divisions within Southampton’s society. Rebels who challenged white authority did not win universal support from the local slaves, suggesting that disagreements within the black community existed about how they should respond to the oppression of slavery. At the same time, the crisis following the rebellion revealed divisions within white society.

    Chapter �� The Musaeum: Its Contents 12.1 Introduction When Strada in 1568 thanked Duke Guglielmo of Mantua for the benefice conferred on his elder son Paolo, he offered the use of his house to the Duke, providing a brief description of its contents and adding that ‘most of these things have been seen by all those gentlemen of the court of Your Excellency that have been here [in Vienna]’.1 This confirms the accessibility of Strada’s Musaeum and the representative function it fulfilled. To have any idea of the impact the Musaeum had on such visitors, it is useful to provide a quick sketch of its contents. A sketch, an impression: not a reconstruction. There are a number of sourc- es which give a very elementary impression of what Strada’s studiolo may have looked like, and there are some other sources which give slightly more con- crete information on which specific objects, or type of objects, passed through his hands. Some of these—in particular the large-scale acquisitions of antique sculpture for the Duke of Bavaria in 1566–1569—were certainly not intended for Strada’s own collection, and they did never even come to Vienna. In most cases the information is too scanty to identify objects mentioned with any cer- tainty, or to determine what their destination was. We just do not know wheth- er Strada bought them on behalf of the Emperor, whether he bought them on commission from other patrons, whether he bought them on speculation— that is as a true art-dealer, hoping to sell them to the visitors of his house or dispose of them advantageously in some other way—or whether he bought them after all just for his own collection.

  • Joshua's Reception of the Laying on of Hands, Part 2
    And~ewsUniversity Seminary Studies, Spring 2002, Vol. 40, No. 1,89-103. Copyright 2002 Andrews University Press. JOSHUA'S RECEPTION OF THE LAYING ON OF HANDS, PART 2: DEUTERONOMY 34:7 AND CONCLUSION KEITHMATTINGLY Andrews University Two passages address laying on of hands in the installation of Joshua: Num 27: 12-23 and Deut 34:9. In a previous micle,' I exegeted Num 27:12-23 with the specific purpose of analyzing the significance of laying hands on Joshua. In this article, I will exegete Deut 349 with the same hand-laying emphasis and then conclude by analyzing the procedural techniques, symbolic meanings, and tangible effects of laying on of hands in the installation of Joshua in these two passages. Deuteronomy is generally divided into four major sections: Moses' first (chaps. 1-4), second (chaps. 5-26), and third (chaps. 27-30) addresses, and final arrangements (chaps. 31-34). As a key element in the final chapter of the book, Deut 34:9 also plays a significant function in the final section of the book (chaps. 31-34) as it clarifies the roles of YHWH and Moses in selecting the new leader of the covenant community as well as Israel's expected response to the new leader. Deuteronomy 34:9 must .be understood in light of the larger picture portrayed in Deut 31 through 34. Other than YHWH, Moses and Joshua play the major character roles of the final four chapters. While the dominant theme running throughout these chapters is that of the death of Moses, the installation of Joshua plays an important secondary theme.
