A masterwork from the mind of Michelangelo. The work depicts the moment Moses descends the mountain where god imparts the second set of commandments on the stone tablets. The tension and the passions are captured within the stone in a way that transcends the medium. Two examples of religious devotion accompany Moses, being represented by two women; the left woman being the contemplative life and the right being the life of pious action. If you're insterested in art or specifically in Michelangelo, this work is not to be missed.
