Painting Description
"Moses Striking The Rock" is a notable oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa 1669. This work is part of a series of six canvases depicting scenes from the life of Moses, commissioned for the Hermandad de la Santa Caridad (Brotherhood of the Holy Charity) in Seville, Spain. The painting illustrates the biblical episode from the Book of Exodus, where Moses, following God's command, strikes a rock with his staff to bring forth water for the Israelites in the desert.
Murillo's interpretation of this miraculous event is imbued with his characteristic use of light and shadow, which highlights the drama and emotion of the scene. The composition showcases Moses in the center, his figure dominating the canvas as he performs the miracle, while the surrounding Israelites react with a mixture of awe and relief. The painting's palette is rich and warm, with a focus on earthy tones that underscore the arid desert setting.
The work is a prime example of Murillo's skill in conveying narrative and his ability to capture human expression. It also reflects the religious and cultural context of 17th-century Spain, where biblical themes were commonly used to inspire piety and devotion among viewers. "Moses Striking The Rock" is not only a testament to Murillo's artistic prowess but also serves as a historical artifact that offers insight into the Counter-Reformation's impact on art.
Today, "Moses Striking The Rock" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and is considered an important piece within Murillo's oeuvre. The painting remains on display at the Hospital de la Caridad in Seville, continuing to captivate audiences with its blend of spiritual narrative and Baroque aesthetics.
