"The Discovery of Moses" is a painting by the British artist Edwin Long, completed in 1886. This artwork is a notable example of Long's interest in historical and biblical themes, which he often depicted with meticulous attention to detail and a rich, narrative style.

The painting illustrates the biblical story of the discovery of the infant Moses by the Pharaoh's daughter, as recounted in the Book of Exodus. According to the narrative, Moses was hidden in a basket among the reeds of the Nile River by his mother to save him from the Pharaoh's decree to kill all newborn Hebrew boys. The Pharaoh's daughter, accompanied by her attendants, finds the child and decides to adopt him, setting the stage for Moses's future role as a leader of the Israelites.

Long's composition is characterized by its elaborate and ornate depiction of ancient Egyptian life. The artist's attention to historical accuracy is evident in the detailed costumes and architecture, reflecting the Victorian fascination with Egyptology. The figures are arranged in a harmonious composition, with the Pharaoh's daughter at the center, highlighting her role in the story. The use of light and color enhances the drama of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central action.

Edwin Long was known for his large-scale historical paintings, and "The Discovery of Moses" is a testament to his skill in creating complex, narrative-driven works. The painting was well-received in its time and remains a significant example of 19th-century British art. It is part of the collection at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, where it continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.

Long's work reflects the broader 19th-century interest in biblical and historical subjects, combining artistic skill with a narrative depth that invites viewers to engage with the story on multiple levels.
