Moses And The Sin Of The Israelite

The painting was massive measuring over twelve feet high and seven feet wide. The painting is vivid and vibrant red, blue, and the gold color over powers the viewer and shades them to the perceived glory of Jesus and all he stands for and can be to them. The image is not constructed in three dimensions that people are accustoms to today, but instead one dimension were size is

In the top portion of the image, you see that Jesus and the two other individual simply have fabric tied around their waists to cover their genitals. But one other has a different color of loincloth, unlike the other two. I do not why one of them has a different color of loincloth. The soldiers also have a metal vest with designs , you can see them if you look closely. Towards the middle of the painting, Jesus body is the brightest out of all three. On the right bottom part of the painting, are the Virgin Mary and St. John, they are looking to their left at what is unfolding before their eyes.

When looking over the questions for the Bible reading number 3 stood out to me. the question states "What do you make of Moses' excuses at the burning bush? (ch.3-4)". I have heard sermons at youth camp breifly on this and also at an early chapel last semster there was a sermon that touched on Moses' excuses. As i read chapter three and four myself i finally really thought about what Moses was actually doing. Why i think moses was making excuses is becasue like many of us we have insecuries and comfort zones that we want to hold on to and not realize. Moses' for example gives the excuse of not being able to talk clearly because of a stutter and God then fixed this by giving Moses Araron to speak to the Pharoph. I feel this is a great example

Interesting fact about this painting, it was influenced by the Bible and demonstrates the battle between good and evil. Involving heaven and hell verse the human race and religion.

In drawing, comes a point and where two point connects forms a line. With a line turns into a shape and therefore you can add depth and value to make it more dimensional and appealing to a human’s eye. The shape and space in this painting is very constrained in a way. The twelve apostles surrounding the Virgin gives the audience a sign of how the virgin is very important. The shape of their bodies may seem

The manipulation of perspective was not only significant for symbolic meaning. It was used as a visual tool in order to create the “magic” that the painting is known for. Because the vanishing point is approximately 5 feet from the bottom of the picture, which is practically floor level, this allows for both the top and bottom of the picture to come together and establishes an illusion of an actual structure. While this “created space” within the picture appears to be real, it is actually just one of the

The technique used in this painting is the use of light. From the left of the painting, we see light shining down on Samson and Delilah. The painting looks simple and narrow in depth. Because the painting is narrow and vertical, the figures are considerably elongated.

Paul explained to the Ephesians that when the fullness of time came, God sent His Son into the world to make known His will for the salvation of humanity. (Ephesians 1: 9-10) However, according to Paul, that plan had extended from the foundation of the world. “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.” (Ephesians 1: 4) And, it is mentioned in the very first book of the Bible.

This painting depicts a crucifixion outside the city of Jerusalem, discernible by the centrally planned church and rounded red rotunda in the background of the city. Rounded structures that resemble towers align the walls of the city, another definitive element of the biblical city. Although the painting clearly represents an idealized Jerusalem, it emulates a contemporary European town of the Northern Renaissance age, with Gothic architecture and what resembles shops at the front of the city. The painter also depicts the mountainous terrain of Jerusalem, but portrays greenery that the actual desert city would not have. The contemporary background makes the painting less abstract and more relatable to the viewer.

As far as space, the painting actually seems a lit cluttered, there is very little negative space but not enough to be distracting. The sky to the left and right of the main structure breaks up the positive space just enough to prevent claustrophobia. Also, the area in front of the structure seems foreshortened; it’s hard to see all those people fitting into that tiny space. The small space is perhaps necessary to focus the eye on the tiny baby Jesus. If the crowd were spread out and the scene with Joseph, Mary and Jesus were to recede, the baby would probably be too small to attract the eye.

The darkness in the beginning of the book of Helaman fits with this quote. They don’t just wake up one day and decide they what to kill someone. The Book of Mormon says it is by degrees. Earlier in the scripture, we're taught that Satan gently leads us down to hell. In the Doctrine and Covenants Christ says,

“Moses”. However, in Frida’s painting, the idea of race is shown in order to convey the uniformity of the human race. The shape of the figures on the bottom of the painting show the figures of the naked bodies, the ancesters, sewed from the differently colored skin.

Technically speaking, Jesus' sermon doesn't really begin until He mentions the law and the prophets. Making His stance on the matter of Moses' law and the prophetic writings clear, Jesus establishes His purpose for the sermon: He has not come to tear down, but to fulfill. Contrary to the corrupt and carnal Pharisaical interpretation of the Pentateuch and the prophetic writings, Jesus would set the record straight with His preaching on the true meaning of Moses' law. The Pharisees had been binding laws and ordinances on the people for quite some time when Jesus arrived. With Jesus now here, He seeks to right the wrongs that had been created by the dangerous teachings of the Pharisees.

The usage of symbolism is a highlight of this magnificent piece of art. The title of the work refers to the biblical text. In Exodus episode, the Golden Calf was a piece

The figures look real and are proportional but I believe that it is the central figure lifting Christ on the cross that draws the most attention. He is strong and it is clear that he has put everything he has into lifting Christ on the cross. His shoulders and back says it all as his highly defined body strains at the job at hand. Even his legs (calves) do their share of lifting as his muscles stand out under the pressure. The knowledge applied here creates movement; the diagonals in this painting make it so realistic and convey the emotional and physical difficulty of what was being
