Moses and Burning bush

author

Ernst Fuchs

description

Mediums: wood, tempera.
Location: Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, Vienna (Austria).

Feeling the culture as the whole grandiose space helped Fuchs develop his own original system of the images of the world, which exists inside us and along with us. “We are told that first there was a word. But first there was an image,” the artist asserted. The incredible due to its harmony of color solutions painting includes the vision of Christ, the story of the Tower of Babel, and other mythological and biblical references, as if the author explores the roots of medieval religious experience and brings them into modern times. The compositional construction, when the background for the plot is a landscape, topped with an image of a golden paradise, makes the painting unique.
