"Mozes wordt gevonden door de dochter van de farao, en Mozes bij de brandende braamstruik" is a 1722-1784 etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The print depicts two scenes from the Old Testament: the finding of Moses by the daughter of Pharaoh and Moses encountering the burning bush. The first scene shows the Pharaoh's daughter, accompanied by attendants, discovering baby Moses in the Nile River. The second scene depicts Moses, kneeling before a burning bush, while God speaks to him. This etching exemplifies Fokke's skill in rendering detailed, evocative imagery. The two scenes, presented side by side, contribute to a narrative flow, making this a powerful and thought-provoking artwork.
