EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable painting "Moses Stepping on the Crown of Pharaoh" by Sebastiano Ricci. Painted in oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 93x101 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The artwork depicts a significant biblical moment when Moses, who was adopted by Pharaoh's daughter as an infant, playfully had Pharaoh's crown placed upon his head. However, instead of succumbing to vanity or power, Moses defiantly threw the crown to the ground and trampled on it. This act foreshadows his future role as a leader for the Jewish people. Ricci skillfully captures this powerful scene with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring life to every brushstroke. The composition emphasizes Moses' innocence as a child while also hinting at his divine destiny. This thought-provoking image resonates deeply within religious contexts but also appeals to art enthusiasts worldwide. It serves as a reminder of faith, strength, and resilience found within ancient scriptures. Bridgeman Images has impeccably reproduced this extraordinary artwork through their high-quality printing techniques. As you gaze upon this print, immerse yourself in its rich symbolism and appreciate Ricci's artistic prowess that transcends time and culture
