Painting Description
"Moses Striking The Rock" is an oil on canvas painting by the French artist Nicolas Poussin, completed in 1649. The artwork is a significant example of Poussin's classical style and his handling of biblical subjects, which were common themes throughout his career. The painting depicts a scene from the Old Testament (Exodus 17:1-7), where Moses, following God's command, strikes a rock with his staff to bring forth water for the Israelites, who are suffering from thirst in the desert.
Poussin's composition is characterized by its clarity and order, reflecting the artist's study of classical antiquity and his aspiration to create works that would appeal to the intellect as well as the eye. The figures are arranged in a manner that guides the viewer's gaze towards the central action, where Moses is seen in a commanding pose, his staff making contact with the rock. The expressions and gestures of the surrounding figures convey a range of emotions, from desperation to awe, as the miracle unfolds before them.
The painting is notable for its harmonious color palette and the use of light to enhance the drama of the scene. Poussin's mastery of landscape is also evident in the backdrop, which provides a sense of the harsh, arid environment that the Israelites are traversing.
"Moses Striking The Rock" is part of Poussin's later work, created during a period when the artist was deeply engaged with theological themes and the exploration of human reactions to divine intervention. The painting is held in high regard for its artistry and as an exemplar of Poussin's contributions to French Baroque painting. It currently resides in the collection of The National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its rich interpretation of a pivotal biblical event.
