Moses

Moses 

Painted on a wall in the living room of the House Museum Al Belvedere “Pietro Ghizzardi”, where the painter used to live from the first years of the 70s, the fresco with a sacred topic represents an imposing Moses that brandishes the tables of the law, where only one commandment is reported, a warning for the guests: “those who enter this house have to respect the ten commandments that God gave to Moses”.
All in a woody contest populated by curbed beasts: a panther and its cubs, a cheetah and other animals and birds.

The painting was made in 1985, a year before the artist’s death.
