Moses Strikes Water from the Stone 

Jacob Jordaens was a Flemish painter known for his dynamic compositions and often-exaggerated figures. In "Moses Strikes Water from the Stone," Jordaens depicts the biblical story of Moses striking a stone with his staff to provide water for the Israelites. The scene is full of dramatic action and emotion, with Moses raising his staff and the Israelites reaching out for water. The painting showcases Jordaens' signature use of strong chiaroscuro, creating dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. This work is a prime example of the Baroque style, a period known for its theatrical grandeur, emotional intensity, and heightened sense of drama.
