The Daughter of Pharaoh Discovers the Infant Moses - A Captivating Biblical Narrative
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print, titled "The Daughter of Pharaoh Finding the Infant Moses" transports us back to ancient times. Created by British artist John Martin in 1833, this artwork is part of his renowned series "Illustrations of the Bible". In this scene, we witness a pivotal moment from the Old Testament's Book of Exodus. The daughter of Pharaoh stands on the riverbank at nightfall, her face illuminated by moonlight as she discovers an abandoned basket among the bullrushes. Inside lies baby Moses, swaddled and peacefully asleep. Martin skillfully captures both the darkness and mystery surrounding this narrative. The landscape is shrouded in shadows, with a cave-like cavern adding an air of secrecy to the setting. The great reedmace plants sway gently along the river Nile's edge, creating a natural frame for this extraordinary discovery. Through his masterful use of mezzotint technique on ivory wove paper, Martin brings depth and texture to every detail - from intricate facial expressions to delicate folds in fabric. This evocative artwork not only showcases Martin's artistic prowess but also invites viewers into a profound religious experience. As we gaze upon this print at Chicago's esteemed Art Institute gallery or art center, we are reminded that art has always been intertwined with religion and history. It serves as a powerful medium through which stories like those found within biblical texts can be brought to life for generations to come.
