Painting Description
"The Finding of Moses" is a remarkable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Paolo di Matteis, created in the early 18th century. Di Matteis, born in 1662 in Cilento, Italy, was a prominent painter of his time, known for his dynamic compositions and vibrant use of color. He was a pupil of Luca Giordano, another influential Baroque artist, and his works often reflect the dramatic intensity and emotional depth characteristic of the Baroque period.
This particular painting depicts the biblical story of the infant Moses being discovered by Pharaoh's daughter, a narrative drawn from the Book of Exodus. According to the story, Moses' mother, Jochebed, placed him in a basket and set him adrift on the Nile River to save him from the Pharaoh's decree to kill all newborn Hebrew boys. Pharaoh's daughter, while bathing in the river, found the basket and decided to adopt the child, raising him as her own.
Di Matteis' interpretation of this scene is notable for its rich detail and expressive figures. The composition typically includes Pharaoh's daughter, her attendants, and the infant Moses, often portrayed with a sense of divine intervention and destiny. The artist's use of light and shadow, along with his skillful rendering of textures and fabrics, adds a sense of realism and immediacy to the scene.
"The Finding of Moses" exemplifies di Matteis' ability to convey complex narratives with clarity and emotional resonance. His work is celebrated for its technical proficiency and the ability to capture the viewer's imagination, making this painting a significant example of Baroque art. The painting remains an important piece in the study of religious art and the broader context of 17th and 18th-century Italian painting.
