EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate woodcut artwork titled "Der Schatzbehalter: Moses Found by Pharaohs Daughter (recto), 1491" created by the talented German artist Michael Wolgemut. Dating back to the 15th century, this masterpiece is a testament to Wolgemut's skill and artistic vision. The image depicts a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Moses, where he is discovered floating in a basket on the Nile River by Pharaoh's daughter. The scene exudes an ethereal quality as light filters through lush foliage, casting gentle shadows on the figures. The attention to detail in each figure's expression and posture adds depth and emotion to this iconic narrative. Wolgemut's woodcut technique brings forth striking contrasts between light and dark, creating a sense of drama that captivates viewers. The delicate lines etched into the wooden block reveal his mastery over this medium, allowing for intricate details such as textures in clothing and facial features. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art, this particular print exemplifies Germany's rich heritage in art history. It serves as a reminder of how visual storytelling has transcended time and continues to inspire contemporary artists today. Heritage Images presents us with an opportunity to appreciate these historical treasures through their expertly crafted photo prints.
