EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by William Hogarth, titled "Moses Brought to Pharaoh's Daughter, February 5,1752" we are transported back to the 18th century British era. This biblical scene from the Old Testament depicts a significant moment in Moses' life. The etching showcases an array of characters, both male and female, sitting around a regal woman who is believed to be Pharaoh's daughter. The artist skillfully captures the expressions on their faces as they observe a young child being presented before them. The child is none other than Moses himself. Hogarth's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical narrative. We witness the tension between royalty and religion as well as the contrasting heritage of individuals depicted in this artwork. The satire present throughout adds an intriguing layer of commentary on society at that time. Displayed within the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this engraving serves as a testament to Hogarth's artistic prowess and his ability to bring stories from ancient texts alive through his work. As we gaze upon this piece, we can't help but marvel at how art has preserved moments like these for centuries, allowing us glimpses into different eras and cultures. This print stands not only as a visual representation of an important biblical event but also as a reminder of our shared human history and its impact on contemporary society.
