Moses Found,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating artwork created by Gesina ter Borch in 1655, presents a tranquil and enchanting scene on the riverbank of the Nile. The Dutch Golden Age masterpiece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, portrays a young woman, believed to be the Pharaoh's daughter, cradling the infant Moses in her arms. The Old Testament story comes to life as the baby, with an air of wisdom beyond his years, gazes intently at the world around him. Gesina ter Borch, a renowned Dutch artist of the 17th century, skillfully captured the essence of this biblical moment using ink on paper and watercolor paint. The low countries' rich artistic heritage is evident in the intricate details of the girls in the background, who playfully interact with one another, adding depth and texture to the scene. The serene river Nile, with its gentle current and picturesque geographical features, serves as the perfect backdrop for this heartwarming discovery. The young woman's tender expression and the delicate handling of the infant Moses convey the profound significance of this pivotal moment in the Exodus story. This artwork, a testament to the artistic prowess of Gesina ter Borch, invites viewers to reflect on the themes of discovery, infancy, and the power of the human spirit. The enduring legacy of this masterpiece continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the United Provinces during the Dutch Golden Age.
