Moses Speaks to the Children of Israel is a 1548 ink by Augustin Hirschvogel, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a scene with a group of men, some of whom are wearing robes and head coverings. In the center, a man is shown speaking to the others, with his right hand raised and his left hand holding a staff. The background features a landscape with hills and what appears to be a tent or structure on the left side. The men are gathered around the central figure, who seems to be addressing them. The scene is rendered in a detailed and intricate style, with fine lines and shading that add depth and texture to the image. This etching is a work by Hirschvogel, Augustin, showcasing his skill in the Renaissance style.
Augustin Hirschvogel (1503 – February 1553) was a German artist, mathematician, and cartographer known primarily for his etchings.
