" Originally made of marble by the esteemed artist between 1513 and 1515, this sculpture depicts the biblical figure of Moses, intended to be part of the tomb of Pope Julius II. Peter's Basilica, both the sculpture and the tomb found their home in the minor church of San Pietro in Vincoli on the Esquiline Hill in Rome after the pope. This church held significance for the Della Rovere family, from which Julius hailed and where he had been a cardinal. The sculpture of Moses is an iconic representation, remarkable for its distinctive depiction of Moses with horns adorning his head. This curious detail arose from a mistranslation of Exodus 34:29-35 by St.

In the original text, Moses is described as having "rays on the skin of his face," which Jerome, in the Vulgate translation, interpreted as "horns" (linked to the Latin word for "radiance"). This translation error became entrenched in artistic representations over time. Michelangelo regarded his creation of Moses as one of his most realistic and remarkable achievements. Legend has it that after completing the sculpture, he struck his right knee, commanding, "Now, speak!

" as if he believed the sculpture contained a spark of life. It is said that a visible scar on the knee bears the mark of Michelangelo's hammer, adding to the mystery of this masterpiece. Our meticulously crafted bronze replica of Michelangelo's Moses testifies to the artistic talent of the original. Handcrafted using the traditional lost-wax method, the sculpture captures the essence and fine details of the original marble.

With its dark brown patina, it exudes timeless elegance and gracefully rests on a black marble base. Owning this bronze replica allows you to bring home a piece of art history and marvel at Michelangelo's genius. Display it proudly as a symbol of beauty, craftsmanship, and enduring legacy.
