"The Discovery of Moses" is a notable painting by the Canadian artist Paul Peel, created in 1888. This work exemplifies Peel's mastery in academic art, a style characterized by its adherence to classical techniques and subjects. The painting captures the biblical scene of the infant Moses being discovered in the bulrushes by Pharaoh's daughter, a moment that has been a popular subject in Western art due to its dramatic and emotive potential.

Paul Peel, born in 1860 in London, Ontario, was one of the first Canadian artists to gain international recognition. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Thomas Eakins and later at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he was influenced by the academic traditions of French art. Peel's work often reflects a blend of his rigorous academic training and his personal sensitivity to light and form.

In "The Discovery of Moses," Peel demonstrates his skillful use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and realism. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures arranged in a harmonious manner that guides the viewer's eye through the scene. The painting's rich color palette and detailed rendering of textures, from the delicate fabrics to the lush vegetation, showcase Peel's technical proficiency.

The emotional resonance of the painting is heightened by the expressions and gestures of the figures, particularly the tender interaction between Pharaoh's daughter and the infant Moses. This humanistic approach to a religious subject is characteristic of Peel's work, which often emphasizes the universal themes of compassion and discovery.

"The Discovery of Moses" is housed in the Art Gallery of Ontario, where it continues to be admired for its artistic merit and its contribution to the canon of Canadian art. Paul Peel's legacy as a pioneering figure in Canadian art history is cemented by works like this, which reflect both his academic training and his unique artistic vision.
