The painting titled 'Moses breaks Tablets of Law' is a compelling example of Religious painting that vividly depicts the biblical moment when Moses, guided by divine wrath, shatters the stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments. Rendered in a style that hints at Naïve art (primitivism), the artwork employs bold, simplified forms and vivid colors. Created using oil or gouache on paper, it captures the drama and spiritual intensity of the moment with a raw, expressive quality.
