Exodus Moses Pharoah Preserved
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Moses Preserved by Pharaoh's Daughter, Exodus, XI, 3" takes us back to the biblical tale of Moses' miraculous rescue. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a pivotal moment in history. The scene unfolds with great detail and emotion. We see Moses as a baby floating gently in his woven basket on the river Nile. The composition is beautifully balanced, drawing our attention to Pharaoh's daughter who stands at the water's edge. Her compassionate gaze reveals her immediate connection with the child. The artist skillfully captures the tension of this clandestine act of defiance against Pharaoh's decree to kill all Hebrew male infants. The delicate play of light and shadow adds depth to each figure and accentuates their expressions. This engraving was likely part of an unidentified volume of Bible illustrations from around 1835. Its inclusion in such a collection speaks volumes about its significance within religious art. As we contemplate this image today, it serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness and oppression, hope can be found through acts of compassion and bravery. Moses' story continues to inspire generations with its message of liberation and resilience. Thanks to Bridgeman Images for preserving this remarkable piece from our artistic heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
