Painting Description
"The Finding of Moses" is a significant painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem, completed in 1596. This work is an exemplar of the Mannerist style that was prevalent in the late 16th century, characterized by its elongated figures and sophisticated, often artificial poses. The painting depicts the biblical story of Pharaoh's daughter discovering the infant Moses in the bulrushes of the Nile River, as described in the Book of Exodus.
Measuring 59 x 199 cm, the painting is notable for its horizontal format, which is unusual for such a subject and gives it a panoramic quality. The composition is rich with detail and dramatic tension, showcasing van Haarlem's skill in rendering textures and his ability to capture the emotional resonance of the narrative. The figures are arranged in a manner that leads the viewer's eye across the canvas, from the group of elegantly posed women on the left to the baby Moses on the right, emphasizing the moment of discovery and the significance of the event.
"The Finding of Moses" is housed in the collection of the Museum Catharijneconvent in Utrecht, the Netherlands. It stands as a testament to van Haarlem's mastery of Mannerist techniques and his influence on the development of Dutch painting. The work is also a reflection of the cultural and religious interests of the period, as biblical subjects were often used to explore human emotion and divine intervention.
Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem (1562-1638) was a leading figure in the Haarlem school and is known for his contributions to the development of Dutch history painting. His works are characterized by their dynamic compositions, vivid use of color, and the incorporation of classical themes and motifs. "The Finding of Moses" remains one of his most celebrated pieces, admired for its artistry and its place within the broader context of European art history.
