EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Three women pulling in the basket with the infant Moses from the water" transports us back to 18th century France. Created by Simon Vallee, it beautifully captures a biblical scene from the Old Testament - an event of profound significance in Christianity. The image depicts three women standing at the edge of the Nile River, their faces filled with determination as they pull in a small basket containing baby Moses. The delicate etching and engraving technique used by Vallee adds depth and texture to this historical moment. Dressed in traditional clothing of that era, these female figures represent strength and compassion as they rescue Moses from his perilous fate. Their actions symbolize not only their devotion to their faith but also their commitment to protecting innocent lives. Vallee's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. From the intricately designed parasols held by each woman to the carefully crafted accessories adorning them, every element contributes to creating a visually stunning composition. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a reminder of our rich religious heritage and offers us an opportunity for reflection on themes such as courage, faith, and divine intervention. It is through artworks like these that we can connect with history while appreciating both artistic skill and spiritual narratives.
