EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Finding of Moses (Auffindung des Moses)" takes us back to ancient times and tells the story of a remarkable biblical event. Created around 1920 by Otto Muller or Mueller, this black and gold lithograph is housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The image depicts an intense moment from the Book of Exodus, where Moses, a Hebrew baby boy destined for doom under Pharaoh's decree, is discovered by Pharaoh's daughter. In a stroke of fate, she finds him hidden among reeds along the banks of the Nile River. The artist beautifully captures this pivotal scene as she cradles young Moses in her arms before entrusting him to his own mother for nurturing. This artwork not only showcases Muller/Mueller's exceptional talent but also reflects his affiliation with Die Brücke movement and German Expressionism. The use of bold colors and expressive lines adds depth and emotion to the composition while emphasizing its religious significance. As we gaze upon this lithograph print, we are transported into a world filled with faith, courage, and divine intervention. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity and decrees meant to harm us; there is always hope for salvation. This piece stands as a testament to both artistic mastery and timeless storytelling that continues to captivate audiences today.
