EDITORS COMMENTS
This antique print, titled "Finding of Moses" by Italian artist Antonio Molinari (1510-1577), showcases a poignant scene from the Hebrew Bible. Molinari masterfully depicts the moment when Pharaoh's daughter discovers the basket containing the infant Moses hidden among the bullrushes along the Nile River. The baby, swaddled and protected, gazes up at the princess with an innocent expression, while she reaches out to touch his cheek in wonder. Molinari's use of pen and brown ink over red chalk on ivory laid paper creates a delicate and intricate drawing that brings the biblical narrative to life. The artist's skillful handling of color and shading adds depth and texture to the scene, with the lush green bullrushes (Typha latifolia) contrasting against the soft, earthy tones of the figures. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of both Italy and Christianity, as it combines the artistic traditions of the Old Testament and the Christian faith. The Finding of Moses is a beloved scene in the Exodus story, and Molinari's depiction offers a unique and captivating perspective on this biblical character's infancy. The print is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. As a significant work of historic and religious art, it serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to connect us to our past and to the universal themes of love, hope, and the human experience.
