Painting Description
"The Moral and Divine Law: Moses Receives the Law on Mount Sinai; Color Study for Mural, Supreme Court Room, Minnesota State Capitol, Saint Paul" is a significant work by the American artist John La Farge, created as a preparatory color study for a mural commissioned for the Minnesota State Capitol in Saint Paul. This artwork, executed in the late 19th century, encapsulates a pivotal moment in biblical history, depicting Moses on Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments, which are central to Judeo-Christian ethics and law.
John La Farge, known for his work in stained glass and as a painter, was a prominent figure in American art during the Gilded Age. His expertise in the use of color and innovative techniques is evident in this study, which not only served a practical purpose in the planning of the larger mural but also stands alone as a work of art that reflects the artist's meticulous approach to composition and his ability to convey profound religious and moral themes.
The mural for which this study was made is one of several commissioned artworks that adorn the interior of the Minnesota State Capitol, designed by architect Cass Gilbert. The building, completed in the early 20th century, features works by various artists, contributing to its reputation as a monument to both political and cultural heritage. La Farge's contribution to this ensemble through his depiction of Moses introduces a solemn and reflective atmosphere to the Supreme Court Room, aligning the space with the gravity and authority of the law.
This color study not only highlights La Farge's artistic skill but also serves as a historical document, reflecting the era's attitudes towards the integration of art, governance, and public spaces. It remains an important piece for study in both art historical and cultural contexts, offering insights into the intersection of art, religion, and law.
