The Finding of Moses, ca. 1671
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Giovanni Stefano Danedi. This exquisite piece from the Baroque era takes us back to biblical times, depicting a significant moment in history with remarkable attention to detail. Danedi's brush and brown wash technique, highlighted with white gouache, brings life to this scene painted on gray blue paper. The composition beautifully captures the story of Moses being discovered by Pharaoh's daughter along the banks of the River Nile. The soft black chalk adds depth and texture to every stroke, enhancing the overall visual impact. The artist skillfully portrays a group of people gathered around baby Moses as he lies peacefully in his basket. Among them is Pharaoh's daughter herself, portrayed as a regal figure dressed in royal attire. Her compassionate expression reflects her decision to adopt Moses despite his Hebrew origin. This artwork not only celebrates an important religious event but also showcases Danedi's mastery in capturing human emotions and geographical features. The serene riverbank setting provides a sense of tranquility while hinting at the vastness and significance of Egypt as both a country and historical location. "The Finding of Moses" serves as an exceptional example of Italian artistry during the seventeenth century. It now resides within the prestigious collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where it continues to inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and profound storytelling ability.
