Painting Description
"Moses with the Ten Commandments and Solomon" is a notable diptych from a series of portraits depicting illustrious men, attributed to the collaborative work of the Early Netherlandish painter Pedro Berruguete and the Flemish artist Justus van Gent, also known as Joos van Wassenhove. Created in the latter half of the 15th century, this artwork is part of a larger series that was likely commissioned for the studiolo of Federico da Montefeltro, the Duke of Urbino, an indication of the cultural and intellectual pursuits of the Italian Renaissance courts.
The diptych features two Old Testament figures, each embodying wisdom and law. On the left panel, Moses is depicted holding the tablets of the Ten Commandments, a symbol of divine law and covenant, while the right panel portrays King Solomon, renowned for his wisdom and as the builder of the First Temple in Jerusalem. The juxtaposition of these figures underscores the themes of jurisprudence and enlightened governance, resonating with the humanist interests of the period.
The paintings are executed with meticulous attention to detail and a rich color palette, characteristic of the Netherlandish tradition, while also incorporating Italianate elements, reflecting the cultural exchange between the Low Countries and Italy during the Renaissance. The precise attribution of each painter's contribution to the diptych remains a subject of scholarly debate, with some experts suggesting that Berruguete may have been responsible for the figures, while van Gent may have contributed the architectural and ornamental details.
"Moses with the Ten Commandments and Solomon" is significant for its artistic merit, historical context, and as an example of cross-regional collaboration in the Renaissance. The diptych is held in high esteem for its representation of Renaissance humanist ideals and its role in the diffusion of Netherlandish painting techniques into the Italian artistic landscape.
