EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print, titled "The Finding of Moses" is a masterpiece created by an anonymous artist. The scene depicts a significant biblical event where baby Moses is discovered in a basket along the riverbank. The artist's skillful use of black chalk, brush and brown wash over black chalk, highlighted with white gouache on blue-brown paper creates a striking contrast that brings the story to life. The faded colors of the artwork add to its charm, giving it an aged yet timeless feel. This piece showcases Italy's rich heritage art and reflects the influence of Christianity during the seventeenth century. The attention to detail in portraying both women presenting and finding Moses demonstrates the artist's talent for capturing human emotions. Located at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a reminder of our religious roots and cultural history. It invites viewers to reflect upon one of the most iconic stories from the Old Testament - Moses' journey from being abandoned in a basket on the riverbank to becoming one of history's greatest leaders. "The Finding of Moses" not only celebrates artistic excellence but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in biblical narratives or Italian art from this period. Its presence within The Met allows visitors to appreciate its beauty firsthand while contemplating its historical significance.
