EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century pen and wash print, titled "Pharaohs Daughter Discovering the Infant Moses, The Finding of Moses" transports us back to ancient Egypt. Created by an unknown Bolognese artist from the Italian Bolognese School, this masterpiece measures 19x24.5 cm and is housed in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. The scene depicted here is a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Moses. Pharaoh's daughter stands at the edge of the Nile River, her eyes filled with wonder as she discovers a baby nestled among bulrushes in a woven basket. This infant is none other than Moses himself, who was placed there by his mother to protect him from Pharaoh's decree to kill all Hebrew male babies. The artist skillfully captures the tension and emotion of this encounter. Servants stand nearby, their expressions reflecting both surprise and curiosity. In the background, we catch glimpses of Rameses' grand palace towering over them. Every detail in this sketch-like drawing adds depth to the narrative – from the intricate design of Moses' basket to Pharaoh's daughter's flowing robes that billow gracefully around her as if moved by an unseen breeze. Through this artwork, we are reminded not only of one man's extraordinary journey but also of humanity's capacity for compassion amidst adversity. It serves as a timeless testament to faith and hope prevailing even in times of great turmoil. This image provided courtesy Bridgeman Images offers us an
