Painting Description
"Moses Cast Into The Nile" is a historical painting by the French artist Jean François de Troy, created in 1734 during the Rococo period, which is characterized by its ornate and decorative style. This artwork depicts the biblical scene from the Book of Exodus where the infant Moses is set adrift in the Nile River by his mother in an attempt to save him from the Pharaoh's decree that all newborn Hebrew boys be killed. The painting is a testament to de Troy's mastery of color and composition, as well as his ability to convey narrative and emotion.
In the painting, de Troy captures the poignant moment of separation between mother and child, with Moses placed in a small basket that floats precariously on the river's edge. The figures are rendered with a sense of drama and tenderness, highlighting the desperation of Moses' mother and the innocence of the child. The artist's use of light and shadow, along with the rich, vibrant colors, enhances the theatrical quality of the scene.
Jean François de Troy was a prominent painter and tapestry designer, born on January 27, 1679, in Paris, France. He was known for his classical and mythological subjects, as well as for being the director of the French Academy in Rome from 1738 to 1751. "Moses Cast Into The Nile" is one of his notable works that exemplify his skill in the grand history painting tradition.
The painting is part of the collection at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. As a work that combines the elegance of the Rococo with the gravity of religious narrative, "Moses Cast Into The Nile" remains an important example of 18th-century French painting and a valuable piece of cultural heritage.
