The Odyssey Of Sfr Moses Ezekiel
The Biblical injunction against making
graven images is responsible for the
absence of Jews from the roster of great
artists until relatively modern times. In
the nineteenth century, however, with
the expansion of religious and political
liberty, Jews who were attracted to the
arts were able to study and develop their
talents. The most famous of these was
Moses Jacob Ezekiel.
Born in Richmond, Virginia, Ezekiel
was drawn to painting and sculpture at
an early age. When the Civil War broke
out, however, Ezekiel entered Virginia
Military Institute and enlisted in the
Confederate Army. He was 17. At the
Avar's end he returned to the Institute
and was graduated. Since there was no
art school in America at the time,
Ezekiel -went to Berlin as a student at
the Royal Academy of Art. Three years
later, in 1872, he attained recognition
with his statue of Washington ; he was
admitted to the exclusive Berlin Society
of Artists.
Ezekiel's.bas-relief, "Israel," won him
the Michael Beer Prix de Rome and took
him to that city. He was to spend the
next 44 years there. From his studio in
the Baths of Diocletian, and later, in the
Belisarius Tower, came a spate of sculp-
ture, numbered literally in the hundreds.
To his studio came the leading nota-
bles of the world—Garibaldi, d'Annun-
zio, even the King and Queen of Italy.
The King knighted Moses Jacob Ezekiel.
Among his friends were both Robert E.
Lee and Franz Liszt.
Ezekiel's long productive life ended in
1917. His will specified that he be buried
in his beloved native land. Fittingly, he is
interred in Arlington National Cemetery
at the foot of the Monument to Confeder-
ate lArar Dead which he himself designed.
