EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of Nicolas Poussin's masterpiece, "The Gathering of Manna". Painted between 1637 and 1639, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 149x200 cm and is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. "The Gathering of Manna" depicts a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Exodus. In this particular scene, the Israelites are shown desperately collecting manna, a miraculous food that sustained them during their journey through the desert. The painting beautifully captures their hunger and desperation as they gather sustenance to survive. Poussin's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. The landscape surrounding the encampment is meticulously rendered, transporting viewers into this ancient world. Additionally, one can observe women breastfeeding infants amidst the chaos—a poignant reminder of maternal care even in times of great need. Originally commissioned by Paul Freart de Chantelou, "The Gathering of Manna" exemplifies Poussin's mastery in capturing both historical narratives and human emotions. This exquisite piece not only serves as a testament to his artistic prowess but also highlights themes such as starvation and resilience that resonate with audiences across time. As we admire this remarkable photograph print courtesy of Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded once again how art has the power to transport us back in time while evoking profound emotions within our souls.
