the Horned One…

Moses by Michelangelo is part of a whole…part of the tomb of Julius the II. Ultimate he was pulled from the project to do some “painting”. Moses, however, remains a potent and powerful figure. But you may wonder why the horns?

From glorified skin to radiant as a halo to horns, from Greek to Latin with bits of Hebrew, translations made alterations hence the horns. Just think rays of light!
