The Hiding of Moses, 1824
EDITORS COMMENTS
by William Blake is a captivating print that depicts a powerful biblical scene. In this 19th-century artwork, we are transported to ancient Egypt where the Israelites faced persecution under Pharaoh's rule. The image showcases the desperate act of Moses' parents, Amram and Jochebed, as they hide their infant son from certain death. Blake's engraving skillfully captures the tension and emotion of this pivotal moment in history. The viewer is drawn into the scene as we witness Amram carefully placing baby Moses in an ark made of reeds, floating it on the River Nile. As if guarding this sacred vessel, mythical creatures such as sphinxes and other mythological beasts stand watch along the riverbanks. The print not only highlights Blake's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to his deep understanding of religious themes. Through his meticulous attention to detail, he brings to life an important episode from the Old Testament – one that symbolizes hope amidst adversity. "The Hiding of Moses" reminds us of the enduring power of faith and parental love. It invites contemplation on themes such as exile, family bonds, and divine intervention. This remarkable piece serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a spiritual reflection for those seeking inspiration from religious narratives.
