Moses's Journey into Egypt 1482

"Moses's Journey into Egypt" is a painting by Pietro Perugino, dating back to 1482. The painting portrays the biblical story of Moses, a key figure in Judaism and Christianity, leading the Israelites out of Egypt after their liberation from slavery. The scene is rendered with a detailed, realistic style characteristic of the Early Renaissance period. Perugino's signature landscape background, with its gentle hills and lush vegetation, creates a serene atmosphere, while the figures are meticulously depicted with individualized expressions and gestures. The painting's focus on narrative and its emphasis on realism make it a prime example of early Renaissance artistic trends.
