Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers ID: #40949 Long Moses statue
Instructions
Moses is a famous marble statue by the Italian artist Michelangelo. The figure was intended as a central figure of the massive tomb planned for Pope Julius, the second in Rome. However, Michelangelo never finished the tomb project, and the statue of Moses was finally put into place 32 years after the Pope's death. Michelangelo created the majestic figure of Moses to be seen from below. Moses's pose is both watchful and meditative. It suggests a man capable of both wise leadership and great and. The face reveals a man of action, power, and intelligence. His gaze is intense, his brow furrowed, and his lips tightly set. Even though the figure is seated, it still seems ready to erupt into action. Michelangelo created this effect through the vigorously flowing beard, the thick robes with their broad creases and folds, and the veins bulging through the skin along the arms and hands. The figure holds tablets under one muscular arm and a pair of horns sprout from the top of the head. These horns have created much confusion among viewers. The Bible describes Moses as having beams of light rade.
