EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning stained glass artwork titled "Moses Saved from the Water". Created by the French School in the 12th-13th century, this masterpiece can be found in Basilique Saint-Denis, France. The image captures a moment of biblical significance as Moses is rescued from the treacherous waters of the River Nile. The stained glass window depicts a female figure, believed to be Bithiah, gesturing towards an intricately decorated roundel that holds baby Moses inside a basket. This scene beautifully illustrates the Old Testament story where Moses' life is spared by being placed in a basket and set adrift on the river to escape Pharaoh's decree to kill all Hebrew male infants. The medieval tracery surrounding this central image adds an ornate touch to its overall decorative appeal. Every detail has been meticulously crafted, showcasing the skill and artistry of its creators. The vibrant colors and delicate lines bring this ancient tale to life with remarkable precision. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into religious history and artistic techniques prevalent during that era. It reminds us of how timeless stories continue to inspire generations through various forms of artistic expression.
