EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the biblical story of Moses. In Exodus 2:1-6, we witness the extraordinary event of Moses being floated down the Nile River and discovered by one of Pharaoh's wives. The scene unfolds against a backdrop reminiscent of medieval castles, with its imposing drawbridge and majestic palace. The image portrays a sense of mystery as we see a baby nestled inside a basket made from bullrushes, gently floating along the tranquil waters. The vibrant colors used in this colored woodcut from the Nuremberg Bible add depth and intensity to the narrative. As our eyes are drawn to this remarkable discovery, we can almost feel the anticipation building within us. Who is this child? What will his future hold? These questions linger as we contemplate how fate has brought together an innocent infant and one who holds great power within her grasp. The composition skillfully combines elements such as moats, pont levis (drawbridges), and castle dwellings to create an atmosphere that transports us back in time. It reminds us that even amidst grandeur and opulence, life's most significant moments can occur unexpectedly. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder that sometimes it is through chance encounters that destiny reveals itself. As viewers, we are invited to reflect on our own journeys - those instances when unforeseen circumstances have shaped our lives in unimaginable ways.
