EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "Moses saved from the water" by Jacopo Robusti Tintoretto, a prominent Italian artist of the 16th century. The artwork, created in 1555 using oil on canvas, measures an impressive 56x119 cm and is currently housed at the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The scene depicted in this masterpiece captures a pivotal moment from the Old Testament: Moses being rescued as an infant. The composition portrays Moses as a helpless baby hidden within a basket floating along a river. Surrounding him are women and females who gaze upon him with curiosity and concern. The painting beautifully illustrates both tension and hope as it captures the delicate balance between danger and salvation. In particular, one woman stands out - believed to be Princess Bithiah - who discovers Moses amidst the reeds. This royal figure adds an element of intrigue to the narrative, hinting at his future role as a leader. Tintoretto's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life through his masterful brushstrokes and use of light and shadow. The rich colors used evoke emotions while highlighting each character's significance within this biblical tale. As we admire this remarkable piece of history painting captured in photograph form by Luisa Ricciarini, we are reminded of its timeless appeal that continues to captivate audiences today.
