The finding of Moses who is rescued from the Nile by the maidservants of Pharaoh's daughter 1650 - 1657

Bartolomeo Biscaino's etching, "The Finding of Moses," depicts the biblical story of Moses' rescue from the Nile River. Created between 1650 and 1657, the artwork shows Pharaoh's daughter, accompanied by her maidservants, discovering the infant Moses in a basket among the reeds. The dynamic composition highlights the moment of discovery, with the maidservant pointing to the baby while Pharaoh's daughter reaches out to the basket. Biscaino's etching is a powerful example of Baroque art, capturing the drama and emotion of the biblical story through its detailed composition and use of light and shadow.
