EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Adriaan van der Werff's masterpiece, "Moses Saved from the Water" painted in 1722. The oil on panel artwork measures 75x60 cm and is housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rennes, France. The painting depicts a pivotal moment from the biblical narrative of Moses' miraculous rescue as an infant. Placed delicately in a woven basket, Moses floats along the river Nile's tranquil waters. Pharaoh's daughter discovers him and extends her compassionate hand to save this destined leader of his people. Van der Werff skillfully captures the tension and emotion surrounding this scene. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork bring life to every detail, from baby Moses' innocent expression to Miriam watching anxiously from afar. This timeless artwork not only portrays a significant event but also symbolizes themes of hope, destiny, and divine intervention. It serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst adversity, salvation can be found. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to ancient Egypt—a land filled with mystery and wonder. The majestic pyramid towering over the riverbank adds depth to the composition while reminding us of Egypt's rich history. "Moses Saved from the Water" stands as a testament to Van der Werff's artistic brilliance and continues to captivate viewers with its profound storytelling ability.
