Farao's Dochter Vindt Mozes in Het Biezen Mandje. 1669

"Farao's Dochter Vindt Mozes in Het Biezen Mandje," painted by Ferdinand Bol in 1669, depicts the biblical story of Moses being found in the Nile River by Pharaoh's daughter. The scene is set in a lush landscape with a river winding through it, where the Pharaoh's daughter, accompanied by attendants, discovers the baby Moses in a basket of reeds. Bol's work captures the moment of discovery, highlighting the dramatic contrast between the opulent attire of the Pharaoh's daughter and the humble origins of Moses. The painting is a testament to Bol's skill as a narrative painter, and its detailed rendering of the figures and landscape contribute to its historical and artistic value. The work currently hangs in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
