EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Moses cast adrift in a basket on the Nile" is an illustration from the Dore Bible, created by Gustave Dore in 1866. The image depicts a pivotal moment from the Old Testament story of Moses, where he is placed in a small basket and set adrift on the mighty Nile River. Dore's intricate wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of this dramatic scene. The moonlight casts an ethereal glow over the river, illuminating Moses' tiny vessel as it floats amidst water plants and gentle waves. A single angel hovers above, watching over him with care and protection. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraver's tool. From Moses peacefully sleeping inside his makeshift cradle to the reflection of light on the water's surface, each element adds depth and emotion to this religious illustration. Published as part of La Grande Bible de Tours, Dore's illustrations became immensely popular during their time. His ability to bring biblical stories to life through art captivated audiences across Europe. This particular print serves as a reminder of faith and divine intervention during challenging times. It symbolizes hope for those who find themselves cast adrift or facing uncertain futures. Through its powerful imagery and artistic mastery, this piece continues to inspire viewers today with its timeless message of resilience and belief in something greater than ourselves.
