EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean Antoine Watteau's "Rescue of Moses from the Water" a stunning sanguine drawing on paper. The artwork, housed in the Bibliotheque de l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, depicts a pivotal biblical scene from the Old Testament. In this evocative sketch, we witness the dramatic moment when Pharaoh's daughter discovers baby Moses floating amidst the reeds along the River Nile. The delicate lines and soft shading of sanguine bring to life Watteau's masterful portrayal of this ancient tale. The composition exudes a sense of mystery and wonder as Pharaoh's daughter reaches out to rescue Moses from his perilous fate. Through subtle details and expressive gestures, Watteau captures both her astonishment at finding such an extraordinary child and her compassion for his plight. Watteau's artistic prowess shines through as he skillfully renders each element of this biblical narrative with precision and emotion. From the flowing waters of the river to the lush vegetation that surrounds it, every aspect contributes to creating a richly textured tableau. "Rescue of Moses from the Water" is not just an exquisite example of Watteau's talent but also serves as a reminder of timeless stories that have captivated audiences for centuries. This print transports us back to ancient Egypt while simultaneously showcasing artistry that transcends time itself.
