Painting Description
The ''Finding of Moses'' (1630-33) is a significant oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Orazio Gentileschi, which showcases his mastery of light, composition, and narrative in art. This work is one of several versions Gentileschi painted on the biblical subject of Pharaoh's daughter discovering the infant Moses in the bulrushes of the Nile River, as described in the Book of Exodus. The painting measures 257 cm by 301 cm and is currently housed in the National Gallery in London.
Created during Gentileschi's later period, after he had moved to England to work under the patronage of Charles I, the ''Finding of Moses'' reflects the influence of Caravaggio, under whom Gentileschi had studied earlier in his career. The painting is noted for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and the realistic depiction of figures and emotions, which were hallmarks of the Caravaggesque style that had become popular across Europe.
The composition of the ''Finding of Moses'' is carefully constructed to guide the viewer's eye across the scene, from the group of elegantly dressed women on the left to the basket containing Moses on the right. The central figure of Pharaoh's daughter, with her outstretched arm, acts as a focal point, drawing attention to the divine providence at play in the narrative. The figures are set against a landscape that recedes into the distance, adding depth to the painting and emphasizing the grandeur of the moment.
Gentileschi's work is characterized by its emotional resonance and the gentle, yet powerful, depiction of its subjects. In this painting, the expressions of the women range from curiosity to awe, capturing the miraculous nature of the event. The use of light not only highlights the figures but also imbues the scene with a sense of the sacred, a technique that Gentileschi employed to great effect throughout his career.
The ''Finding of Moses'' is considered a masterpiece of Baroque painting and an important example of Gentileschi's contribution to the art of the period. It remains a subject of study for art historians and a treasured piece within the National Gallery's collection, admired by visitors from around the world for its beauty and historical significance.
