EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Moses placed rush basket Nile Moses thrown water" takes us back to ancient times, capturing a pivotal moment in the life of one of history's most iconic figures. The image showcases Moses, the biblical figure known for leading the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. In this scene, we witness Moses being carefully placed in a rush basket by his mother Jochebed, while his father Amram and brother Aaron stand close by. With great concern and love, they prepare to send him off into the mighty Nile River. The backdrop reveals a glimpse of bustling Egypt with its inhabitants going about their daily lives. Jochebed ingeniously crafts an ark or basket made from bulrushes and coated with pitch to ensure it remains buoyant amidst the rushing waters. As she tenderly places baby Moses inside, one can only imagine her mixed emotions - fear for his safety but also hope for his future. This remarkable etching by Simon Fokke transports viewers back to this significant event that shaped not only Moses' destiny but also impacted countless lives thereafter. It serves as a visual reminder of courage and faith as well as the power of parental love. Displayed within Amsterdam's Liszt Collection, this print invites contemplation on historical narratives and encourages reflection on timeless themes such as family bonds, resilience in adversity, and divine intervention.
