Moses

Moses (Ic. 1513–1515) is a sculpture by the Italian High Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome.

The work was commissioned in 1505 by Pope Julius II for his tomb. The work depicts a seated Moses with horns on his head. This is believed to be a mistranslation of the Hebrew Scriptures in Latin by St. Jerome. Moses is actually described as having “rays of the skin of his face”, which Jerome in the Vulgate had translated as ‘Horns’. In his arms he carries the tablets of the law – the stones inscribed with the Ten Commandments that he has just received from God on Mt. Sinai.

Although his tomb for Pope Julius II was never completed, Michelangelo shows his restless genius at play, because of this the seated Moses is considered his most important work.

I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.

The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.

Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.
