Painting Title:- The Covenant
Text: Exodus 34
One could accuse Turner of blunting the message of the Bible by representing
a moment of revelation and awe as mild and domesticated. But he is at
least questioning the meaning of the event. The painting is not a symptom
of cultural malaise with respect to the problem of sin. Its ethos is
more difficult to dismiss than that. The visual pleasure is in an unexpected
invitation to "delight in the law of God" (Romans 7:22).
