EDITORS COMMENTS
Paulus Bor's masterpiece, "Pharaoh's Daughter Discovers Moses in the Rush Basket," dates back to the 17th century and is a captivating representation of one of the most famous stories from the Old Testament. Set against the backdrop of the majestic Nile River in ancient Egypt, the painting depicts the moment of discovery when Pharaoh's daughter reaches out to touch the basket that holds the infant Moses, who has been placed there to save his life. The princess is surrounded by her attendants, all dressed in rich fabrics and adorned with jewels, as they look on in wonder. The Dutch artist Paulus Bor masterfully captures the tenderness and curiosity of the princess as she lifts the lid of the basket, revealing the tiny, swaddled figure of Moses. The use of color and light in the painting adds to the sense of serenity and tranquility, with the golden hues of the princess's robes contrasting against the cool blues and greens of the river and the lush vegetation. This painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands during the Dutch Golden Age, a period of great cultural and artistic achievement. Bor's use of oil on canvas technique adds depth and texture to the scene, making it a truly unusual and beautiful work of art. The painting is now on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate audiences and inspire awe and wonder.
