"The Finding of the Book" is a painting by Harold Copping, a British artist known for his religious and genre paintings. Born in 1863, Copping gained recognition for his illustrations of biblical scenes, which were widely distributed in the early 20th century. "The Finding of the Book" depicts a moment from the Old Testament, specifically from the narrative of King Josiah, as described in 2 Kings 22 and 2 Chronicles 34. The scene captures the pivotal discovery of the Book of the Law during the renovation of the Temple in Jerusalem, an event that led to a significant religious reform in the kingdom of Judah.

In the painting, Copping portrays the high priest Hilkiah, or possibly the scribe Shaphan, presenting the rediscovered scroll to King Josiah. The figures are rendered with a dramatic intensity that reflects the importance of the moment, with the young king shown receiving the book with a sense of awe and reverence. Copping's work is characterized by its attention to historical detail, the vivid portrayal of emotions, and the use of rich, evocative colors that enhance the narrative's impact.

"The Finding of the Book" is emblematic of Copping's broader body of work, which often sought to bring biblical stories to life for contemporary audiences. His paintings were reproduced in various publications, including books and Sunday school materials, contributing to the popular visual culture of Christianity during his time. Although the exact date of this painting's creation is not well-documented, it is consistent with the style and themes prevalent in Copping's work during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The painting is a testament to the artist's skill in combining religious subject matter with the artistic sensibilities of his era, making biblical narratives accessible and engaging to a wide audience.
